Virtual reality landing Big conjecture

For an industry, a sense of technology is actually the best spit, because it means that the business model is missing. And the virtual reality in people's impression, the sense of technology seems to be innate. Now that the Giants have followed, the virtual reality of the landing is imminent. Regardless of whether this will lead to the next interactive revolution, at least the panorama is already on the content side, providing a variety of possibilities for the popularization of virtual reality.

Virtual reality is not an illusion

Sometimes people can feel they are dreaming, but this does not prevent the dream of "authenticity." Virtual reality is also true, even if the VR glasses on the head of the touch, as well as the image of the particles, all the while reminding you of the clouds, you can not resist from a screen to "One World" subversive experience. But the visual pleasure is momentary, want to let the user from life experience ascend to life style. Continuous updating of quality content is essential.

From the fit, the game is certainly the most suitable for the development of virtual reality platform, but this can not meet the developers of virtual reality expectations. So movies, concerts, exhibitions, sports competitions have been involved in virtual reality. Temporarily ignore the cost restrictions, because when a large number of users to pay for the content, the Internet's transmission characteristics can basically be grafted to the cost of operating costs to buy bandwidth. So the focus of the discussion is technical difficulty and application scenarios.

Developers say ...

When communicating with the founder Li Wenssong of VR8, a senior Panorama team in China, he told us:

"Panoramic photography has been in existence for many years, both at home and abroad have a lot of industry; the last panoramic photography has become a hot spot because of Google Street View, and then there are imitators, such as the Shanghai City8, Tencent's Soso map; this time VR display technology represented by Oculus appears, Once again, the panoramic photography is pushed to the hotspot;

This is different from the previous highlight is: 3d+ Panorama;

Traditional panoramic photography, is the use of multiple shots or multiple shots and then splicing to synthesize a panoramic ball map, the core technology is to eliminate the "texture seam", 3D panoramic point of view in addition to the "texture seam" also known as "deep seam" problem;

Traditional panoramic "texture joints" can be used to reduce and eliminate the lens "node" distance to solve the "texture seam", but this method and the 3D photography in the eyes produced parallax is contradictory, that is, "texture joints" and "deep seam" is contradictory, At present, the theory has not completely eliminated the method (in the computer with CG rendering can do), but in the actual shot, it is difficult to reconcile the two contradictions, especially in the video shooting;

Panorama 3D also has some difficulties, the left and right eye images must be photographed at the same time (especially with moving objects), to avoid each other "self-portraits", there is the world, how to shoot the whole world, there are many 3D panorama scheme to avoid the "heaven and earth" shooting, not complete "panorama";

At present, there are so many foreign countries: Panocam3d, 360Heroes, Jaunt, Condition1, Hong Kong has a izugar, Samsung, the domestic product of the people are not much; VR8 in 2012 applied for a panorama of 3D patents, is currently in the product words to explore, The products currently sold are VR8 Camera DK3.2

A sense of participation in the first perspective

When how to transform the existing video form into virtual reality is not a problem, then return to the essence of virtual reality, what content is worth popularizing? This is a serious question. The film sounds a good direction, anyone can through the virtual reality of a male/female addiction, but the film as an art means, a variety of shooting techniques, the photographer can not always from the first point of view of a story.

And those people can participate in activities, panoramic photography combined with the experience of virtual reality, is to let you personally. Your angle is no longer limited by the photographer, so you can when the singer curse time is compressed, look back at the timer, also can be in the World Cup finals, see the other side of the stadium, Zidane with his head hit Materazzi, can even "cross" to the streets of London, Turn around and see if there's any Tony Leung in the square feeding the pigeons.

The view of the big fish eye lens also can not take care of the body behind, the quick response to the photographer can not catch all the bright spots, from the flat plane to the three-dimensional, and then to virtual reality, people finally in the space dimension, the number of shadows. Because people do not care about the momentary coolness, but the eternal sense of existence.
