This is pretty neat - can anyone give any insight/guesses into how this was done?

- tintin 15y agoMaybe this picture will help you: http://www.creativeapplications.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/bloggie_unwarp_1280px.jpg http://www.creativeapplications.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/... Now you have different options to display it. One is to map it on a 3D object and place a camera inside the object. More info and movies: http://www.cornflex.org/?p=1 http://www.cornflex.org/?p=1
- makmanalp 15y agoWell, the stupid way to do this involves having a stand with many cameras mounted in a globe shape, such that the viewing angles of all the cameras overlap. This is expensive. The more elegant solution is to use half-globe mirror (or two) to get 360 vision with 1 camera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnidirectional_camera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnidirectional_camera http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~kostas/omni.html http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~kostas/omni.html This is getting very popular in robotics applications because it's cheap and a simple way to get 360 surroundings data. From this, you can localize and / or detect obstacles.
- bsimpson 15y agoHere's the mirror way of doing it: http://www.360video.com http://www.360video.com There's a link on the home page showing what the uncorrected video looks like (it's a giant video donut). You get better image quality (e.g. no stitching errors), but lower resolution, because the whole environment has to fit in the same 1080P frame.
