3D Interactive Video on a sphere!

DIGG IT!     14 Comments Published Monday, March 24, 2008 at 1:16 PM .

The team over at Immersive Media is using Adobe Flash Player and ActionScript 3 to deliver interactive video in 3D. This is the first time I have seen interactive video displayed in this format. You can turn the camera in all directions. It is like real life video in the fact that you can actually be looking in the wrong directions as the video content is all around you.

1. Press play below.
2. Pan the video around.



Great use of Flash Player and ActionScript.

    Excellent! Thank you Papervision3D!
    I've seen also a demo wandering around New York streets on top of a truck's platform. But this one is definetely more engaging ;) We miss maybe better 360 degree video cameras (and/or quicker cpu) to get a full screen version...

    Actually there were a number of companies working with interactive video in essentially the same manner - mapped to both cylinders and spheres using QuickTime extensions about 10 years ago - including Behere, iPix among others.

    I also worked on some early prototypes for the original XBox using similar interactive video techniques using DirectX.

    Shooting video in that manner was quite difficult as it involved a special camera with additional optics and mirrors that caused no end of headaches for film crews actually trying to work with it. Post-processing was also very intensive as the captured video had to be corrected in order to avoid looking warped when played back.

    Check out the following blog: http://www.cornflex.org/?p=1

    It has some additional 360 videos as well as a little bit about the camera that they use.

    Whoa..! You can zoom in too.
    This is uber cool...!

    This was not a news anymore. Please contact me if you are interesting in this sort of technology. I have overcame the walk-through (traverse in interactive videos)as well. The project was exhibited in London 2008. I don't think this can be called 3D video.

    Max...

    We called this "Panoramic Video". It's not 3D Video. It can be called immersive or interactive video as well. We did this and exhibited the project in London, 2008 already. So it's not a news. Also, we overcame the walk-through (traverse in Panoramic Videos). Anyone who is interesting in this technology is welcomed to contact us.
