For my day job at Adobe Research I’ve been researching tools and workflows for processing VR-180/3D-180 video. Early development has been dominated by high-end, cinema-grade rigs but there’s an unaddressed, consumer-grade market that is emerging. To get a better idea of this, I’ve been getting out and about shooting with these new rigs.
I wanted to see if it’s possible to create a cheap, portable kit for VR180 filming. Earlier this month I traveled to Vancouver for SIGGRAPH 2018, and I documented my experience. The footage is best viewed in a headset but works well enough on mobile and desktop.
