| The Dodeca 2360 System. 11 streams of coverage. |
After yesterdays article that Nathan covered about a new way to photograph war, I received a tip about a Portland based firm called Immersive Media , a company that specializes in 360 degree immersive technology. I'm surprised this hasn't been more actively covered by tech blogs, but I would love to get my hands on one of these. Using a total of 11 video streams, the camera can build a fully interactive 360 degree view of the world around it. And at 2.5 pounds and a resolution of 2400x1200, this device is no pushover.
In terms of practical applications, people have barely scratched the surface regarding the potential of the device. Imagine sending one of these up to the international space station or combining this with a VR helmet with head tracking. Just imagine that. You could experience a place thousands of miles away from the comfort of your own home with 360 degree interactive video. This could be the start of something a lot bigger. A fully interactive example after the jump.
