Technology for Capturing 360 Degree Video

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the even-guesswork-can't-save-most-hollywood-pictures dept.

Inzite writes "EnterNetica R&D is working on a new spherical video technology for capturing and presenting full 360 degree scenes using a 180 degree lens, by adaptively predicting the camera's surroundings. Video extrapolation techniques have been proposed in the past, but this is the first time I've heard of an entire hemisphere of the video image being "guessed". The article also talks about feature film presentation using fully-immersive video in the future."

    Well duh, they can't put two cameras back to back and take a 360 degree photo, that would be against the laws of physics. And man you do not want to be pulled over by god for a physics violation, that is a bad scene.

    This way we can be INSIDE of a pr0n movie!

    No frickin way!

    Assuming that the slashdotted article also describes a 360 degree viewing screen, you'd be looking at the porn in front of you, getting all aroused, and then you'd look behind you and see the filming crew with the dodgy looking pron director and his clapper.

    This would totally ruin the experience, IMO.
