8:40 minutes of video. Aug 5, 2014 |
3D 3008 X 3008 pixels, 366 MB Jan 2015, I processed the raw footage again to create new 3D videos. I created smoother 3D and corrected the sync problems that was at the end. I can not play anything larger than the 2k footage on my PC. The larger versions are there for your testing. If it does not play smooth try a smaller version. I refocused the soft cameras and added two more cameras to capture the zenith in 2D The Fireworks are too far away to show any depth. But turning around and looking at the people, depth is very obvious. For comparison Timelapse shot with Nikon D7000 | |

3D 4098 X 4098 pixels, 642 MB For comparison I was also recording with my phone panning to capture the action I found most interesting. There is more detail but the camera crops into the action and you are forced to watch where the camera was pointing. The zenith was crudely patched in post production. | |

4096 X 2048 pixels, 491 MB, 6:43 min This is a 2D spherical panorama video covering to 360X130° with patches to the zenith and nadir to fill in the complete sphere. Three of the 16 cameras failed so I picked and choose the remaining to get the best to make a 2D video. The lenses are spread out much farther than I like for capturing 2D. If I was only intending on shooting 2D then I would have the lenses packed much closer together to minimize the parallax issues as much as possible. | |

20 minutes of video compressed into a 1 minute timelapse. Jan 21, 2014 |
4096 X 2048 pixels, 360 MB, 1 min The panorama was cropped to 360X90°. This is my first test of using the full 14 camera rig to capture 360° in stereoscopic 3D. Unfortunately two of the cameras did not record. The faulty cameras were the left and right view of the exact spot where the sun was going down. The -20°C cold weather meant the cameras did not record as long as I hoped. record time were between 20:48 and 53:50, averaging 37:30 minutes. | |

4096 X 2048 pixels, 142 MB, 1 min The video is presented as an Anaglyph full spherical panorama of 360X180°. I converted first to B&W because the blue cast made it impossible to view correctly with the anaglyph glasses. I was also testing the quality of locking the white balance of all the cameras to cloudy. I corrected for the changes the cameras make because of autoexposure but even with whitebalance locked, I should have also corrected for differences in whitebalance. I have got much better at the aligning and stitching of the videos. | |

8 evenly spaced outward pointing cameras covering about 180° with about 142° in stereo. Left side of each camera created left pano, right side of each camera created right pano. The seams are too visible. Even though the cameras are synced to the nearest frame of 30 fps there is still some sync problems. Perhaps better cameras with genlocks to ensure perfect sync would show this to be a superior method, but with the inexpensive Mobius cameras it does not work so well. Nov 19, 2013 |
3104 X 3360 pixels, 137 MB, 1 min The video is presented in an Over/Under partial Dome view with one panorama for each eye. The panorama height and width are cropped from the full spherical view. After Vi Hart posted about Panoramic Twist I got excited to see what I could do again with this technique. This was an early experiment shot in the Fall of 2013, but I restitched it in June 2014 after much practice at stitching 3D multi-sensor video. It turned out much better than the first time.
