Where is AI documented in 360-film attention work (saliency prediction, script-driven object highlighting, generated 360 scenes), and what evidence supports it?

Two documented AI connections were found. (1) Sitzmann et al. adapt existing 2D saliency predictors to 360 panoramas by multiplying with a learned equator bias and propose saliency-based cut alignment (static-panorama data, not reproduced). (2) da Silva et al. (SVR 2024, arXiv 2026, CC BY 4.0) chain Grounding DINO and Segment Anything to find the object named in a text script and apply a vignette to it in a 360 tour; their text shows frames from a university video tour, one SAM failure, and a conclusion that 'user experience' improves, but the extract shows no user study or measurement supporting that claim. No source linking generated 360 scenes to viewer-attention outcomes was found in a bounded search.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
