newsroom 360

Published Dec 12, 2007

I've been experimenting with Virtual Reality imaging (VR) - which allows a 360 degree horizontal and 180 degree vertical view of a scene.  Basically, you can view any angle from one perspective.  It involves taking multiple shots around, then up and down, then using software to stitch them together.  It's a bit of trial and error and can be pretty frustrating, but it's pretty cool when finished!  I did the first one of the WRAL-TV newsroom, and I plan to do others at places where I shoot my assignments.

Hint:  Click on the image and drag your mouse to move around.  You can go left, right, up or down.  Also you must have the latest flash player (v9) to view this.

Link didn't work for me Nate.

Sounds like some of filming techniques that were highlighted in the Matrix.

heelygirl - try again - I was probably in the middle of messing with the link!

OldRebel - this technique is actually the exact opposite of the Matrix stuff - here you have one camera viewing around 360 degrees - in the Matrix you have many cameras around a circle viewing one person/object which has a very cool effect as well, just different. You can actually do those with objects that aren't moving using one camera and a turntable - those are called Object Movies - they're used a lot for product displays, etc.

Nate I'm dizzy thanks that is wild

Nate, if this is your first...I can only imagine what the future holds for your VR imaging!! The picture is awsome...I have seen these type of imaging in VR home tours...Maybe you should do photograph new homes and do this as a side job!!!

Wow..that is so totally amazing.

Wait... Rusty and Dave don't work out in the newsroom

It seems Dave and Rusty were quite "busy" in the newsroom the day I shot this!

Extremely cool, Nate! What software are you using for this?
