360-degree feature request:
interpolating 360 degree video from standard 16:9 Lost episode format. This should be doable as most information is there in previous and future frames so a 3d Photosynth (Microsoft) like model can be build. The rest can be guesed or be given a default texture themed by the surrounding pixels (like Philips Ambient), similar as to how people color black and white pictures or enlarge pictures with fractal-based interpolation techniques.
- pedalpete 10y agoI think what you're suggesting is create the scene based on multiple shots and removing the people? Or just using different scenery shots? Is that correct. It's actually quite interesting and I think you are correct that you could create a 360 environment from a trove of clips which is 'good enough' to pass. I do wonder about how the story line unfolds in 360. A film was made with cuts so you didn't have to move around. What happens when an actor on your left is speaking to an actor on your right, or behind you. Do you miss out on bits because you were not looking where the director thought you would? do you feel more or less realism? It's an interesting proposition.
- camoby 10y agoThis is actually not as crazy as is sounds. It's surely just a matter of time until we can run a script or app on a movie file and have it generate scenes it can find. The only issue is interpolating the 'physical' location from the scenes. Having something automatically detect how it all joins together would be pretty impressive, but not impossible, with plenty of horsepower.
