This is the greatest time for Media related innovation happening throughout the world. When the companies like "Google" and "EarthMine" are coming up with option of static photography of the world, there arise one more innovative company who thinks static imagery is not enough. The company is "Immersive Media" who have started taking videos of the streets as a complete 360 degrees view(except the bottom of the camera), and a user can play it like a video and with the movement of the mouse can see through the video in that angle/he or she wants. Looks simple but just think about the possibilities of such a camera. Try it your self.
1. Play the video below.
2. Click and drag the mouse in a direction which you want to peep into.
3. And the focus will follow your mouse direction giving you a feeling as if you are turning your head while driving.
Take 1
Just imagine such a camera as a surveillance camera where it takes the 360 degrees of video and some mishap happens. The authorities can completely go through the video after the crime happened and find out what went wrong.
Take 2
Wandering in city and looking at all the tourist area as if we ourselves have shot it.
The possibilities are endless !
