360º Video - Glasses?

by Joseph Campo, 16th March, 2010

So excited about Immersive Media’s Dodeca 2360 camera, which captures 360º video that can then be placed in a flash player for the the end user to manipulate at will.  These are the cameras that Google has been using for the last few years in order to take all those photos that make up “street view” in Google Maps and Google Earth.

Check out for yourself how powerful this tool is, as CNN used the camera to shoot scenes from Haiti during the earthquake:

Or MuchMedia’s use of the tool to record live music concerts:

Vuzix, are you ready to make us some video glasses for this kind of video?  Then we’ll be truly immersed in the experience!
