The system, that consists of a computer, a remote network Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera installed on site, a pair of goggles and an orientation sensor, starts by capturing images of the site in all orientations, then assembles them into a static 360˚ panorama. The panorama can then be remotely viewed in an immersive way by a user wearing goggles equipped with an orientation sensor. In addition, the panorama is augmented with a live video stream that is overlapped and registered at its corresponding location in real time within the panorama as the camera moves. Finally, the panorama is further augmented with a 3D model of the building being built. Results show that the use of a panorama as a background for visualizing the video stream offers a spatial context to the video data, enabling the user to better understand the scene and more freely view the environment....
