Photographic based virtual reality is fast becoming one of the most exciting areas of the digital imaging world. No helmets, no gloves; no longer even an interactive panorama tool, the new techniques create fully immersive experiences where the viewer can look up and down as well as sideways whilst playing with virtual objects.
360º Imaging provides a
visual introduction that is both easy to read and understand. The ideas and
techniques draw on those used by industry professionals and are presented in a
step by step form, allowing readers to gradually develop VR skills. Practice
images and demonstration versions of the software used in the book can be
downloaded from the companion website.
Philip Andrews reviews and discusses a range of hardware
and software options, providing VR imaging solutions for budget conscious
amateurs and professionals alike. Comprehensive technique overviews are provided
for the capture, creation and display of Standard and cubic panoramas, object
movies and Video VR. If you are interested in this subject, this is the book you
cannot do without.
