360 Video
From Open Source Ecology
Basics
- This format captures a "sphere" of panoramas, and thus:
- One can use a VR display to view it as if they are/were there
- This is especially of use in training or event coverage
- It also can be used for gathering of conventional format perspectives in post production (granted results vary a lot depending on camera/stitching etc (ie it isn't the same quality as a dedicated camera if cropped etc) )
- Typically accomplished via two cameras on opposite sides of the camera frame, with wide angle lenses (thus getting two ~180* videos) which are then "stitched" into the final video (either automatically, or in post, depending on workflow)
- More complex multi-camera setups also exist
- Some but not all also capture Ambisonic Audio which allows for production of binaural audio from the view perspective in the recorded soundspace
