OK, I'm jealous.
I've got a samsung gear VR and oculus rift.
And I shoot immersive videos with gopros just now (usually of me paramotoring over mountains, etc).
I'm waiting for a reasonably priced 360x180 4k camera to get more immersive.
At present, I find with gopro I can pull out 4k to 170 horizontal x 120 vertical and get good results.
I've been waiting for the nikon 360 key mission, but it's been put back to 3rd or 4th quarter now :-(
imho it's the future of VR (well 3d 8k 360x180 probably). It gets around the need for the supercomputer to power the graphics, etc and gives you a truly new experience.
I think we will see 'movies' soon that start to make sense of it.. but it needs real thought - it's back the square one with every cinematographer rule of the last 100 years to work out what works.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
