This paper presents the design, architecture and implementation of a novel panoramic broadcasting system for Internet and mobile entertainment, where real-time images obtained with spherical camera are distributed to multiple viewers, each having their own respective perspective and interactive capabilities. The system, called PanoCAST (Panoramic Broadcasting), was designed to deliver telepresence to a mass media market. We discuss its overall architecture and present examples of its uses.
