Before we show you our work, what are Oculus? Simply a pair of virtual reality goggles. Originally created for gaming, they can be used for a whole host of other applications, as you’ll see!
Okay… We’ll admit it, we started by playing but quickly got down to business. We listed a number of possible applications, and the first idea we came up with was 360° video immersion.
So we bought a 360° filming kit for 6 GoPro Hero 3+. After stitching everything together to encode a 360° video, it’s time to test it out with an online 360° player!
Following on from this, we tested some Oculus-compatible 360° players. Great! But… at Bluevista we’re only satisfied when we’ve succeeded in doing things with our own little hands. So we went for Unity 3D technology, to anticipate other ideas that had emerged in brainstorming (but I won’t tell you more about that for the moment!).
