360-degree video puts eyes in the back of your head
2015-08-05
guys we're living in the matrix you know
that scene when neo is falling backwards
and everything slows down but the camera
just flies around him that is bullet
time and it's pretty much the coolest
video ever and now thanks to google jump
with its 16 GoPros chilling in a circle
we can do this hello bullit x selfies
kind of just now the cameras are looking
out rather than in I don't care just
take my money and give me 360 degree
video you know that old saying about
having eyes in the back of your head
well with these videos you can see all
around you it's like a choose your own
adventure look left and you see a tiger
fighting a robot I look right and it's
the sound of music maybe so buying 16
GoPros is probably out of reach for most
of us mere mortals and if you want to
have the full VR experience you have to
wait for more headsets but you and I can
totally make these videos right now
there are cameras like the theater the
Nokia ozo is on the way and there's even
the panono that captures a 360 panorama
at 100 mega pixels and that is why
360-degree video is some of the most
exciting tech in the world
