Following the trend of Dizzy Rascal (Bonkers), Professor Green has created a 360 degree view music video:

Go to http://www.youtube.com/doritosuk to see the full, interactive 360° version of Professor Green’s new video, personally we prefer the unwarped version above. Considering how long the technology has been around, its interesting that it has only recently been picked up by the music industry…

Adverts in Street View – Could be Video?

Andy — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:30:00 +0000

We noted last week via Gizmodo that Google has Google’s filed a patent entitled “Claiming Real Estate in Panoramic or 3D Mapping Environments for Advertising,” which in short allows them to paste media (adverts) onto the images.

Its interesting how the mouse in Street View follows the 3D space, we assume to allow any data to be tagged to buildings etc. With data of course comes the ability to provide click throughs and advertising. We dont think it will limited to simple images however as video can also be embedded into panoramas as one of our previous examples shows:

San Francisco Panorama with Embedded Video from digitalurban on Vimeo.

The example was quite easy to produce, we used the real estate of Twin Peaks in San Francisco, but this could of easily been an advert above Buckingham Palace and then that’s when things get interesting…

Immersive/Panoramic Video: Are we Missing Something?

Andy — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:11:00 +0000

Ten years ago we drove a car around London capturing immersive video linked to a GPS unit and portable GIS system. Little did you know then that Google would take the concept a step further with their Street View system. Back then the resolution was poor and while we are huge fans of panoramic imagery we simply don’t ‘get’ panoramic video.

A still panorama can be a work of art, it is a full 360×180 degree moment captured in time. We have over 100 such images dotted around the blog but we gave up on immersive video as a bad job. That said, its nice to now see the ability to look around such scenes via Flash as the embedded clip from http://demos.immersivemedia.com/ demonstrates:

Perhaps with an increase in resolution its time to take a second look at immersive video, but part of us simply cant quite see the point.

Black Rock City: Panoramic Video Loops

Andy — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 09:14:00 +0000

Shooting video in panoramic fashion at 640×480 with 10 second bursts for each section Zoyous has created a unique effect. Each scene is manually aligned creating 5000 pixel plus width video:

The changes in contrast and brightness along with the mixture of time throughout the scene makes for a panorama technique that would be really interesting to try out.

Other work by Zoyous can be seen at http://www.zoonbats.com/

Dizzy Rascal Bonkers: Panoramic Video

Andy — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:00:00 +0000

The official video for Dizzy Rascal – ‘Bonkers’ – makes interesting use of spherical panoramas, using the LadyBug2 system.

LadyBug is a six camera lens system capturing a 360-degree view – similar technology is used for Google Street View. With the addition of Apple’s Shake the linear output was converted into a ‘planet’ view allowing for the effect in the video below:

Dizzee Rascal – Bonkers

A neat way to capture the cityscape – see http://www.ptgrey.com/products/spherical.asp for more on the LadyBug2, BoardsMag for more on the making of the video and http://www.dizzeerascal.co.uk/ for more on Dizzy…

The panoramic video was shot by Digital Immersion a French company specialised in immersive media – see www.digitalimmersion.fr for more examples.

Thanks go to Andy Hoskins for emailing this in.
