It is used to encode and deliver the effect of a spherical, 360-degree image to viewers such as needed for 360-degree videos and for virtual reality. A 360 video projection is a specialized form of a map projection , with characteristics tuned for the efficient representation, transmission, and display of 360° fields of view.
Some omnidirectional cameras contain wide-angle lenses on the front and rear to facilitate the recording of 360-degree video. 360-degree video is typically recorded using either a special rig of multiple cameras, or using a dedicated camera that contains multiple camera lenses embedded into the device, and recording overlapping angles simultaneously.
Circle-Vision 360° developed from the Circarama format, which uses eleven 16 mm projectors. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The first Circarama film was A Tour of the West (1955). [ 2 ] [ 4 ] For the film Italia '61 , the number of cameras was reduced to nine, and the 16 mm film was shown using 35 mm projectors.
360 photography may refer to: 360 panorama, a photograph spanning a full circle in side; 360-degree video; 360-degree interactive photography; 360 product photography, the rotational photography of a subject
Schematic of an omnidirectional camera with two mirrors: 1. Camera 2. Upper Mirror 3. Lower Mirror 4. "Black Spot" 5. Field of View (light blue) In photography, an omnidirectional camera (from "omni", meaning all), also known as 360-degree camera, is a camera having a field of view that covers approximately the entire sphere or at least a full circle in the horizontal plane.
The term "isometric" comes from the Greek for "equal measure", reflecting that the scale along each axis of the projection is the same (unlike some other forms of graphical projection). An isometric view of an object can be obtained by choosing the viewing direction such that the angles between the projections of the x , y , and z axes are all ...
In March 2016, Google released VR View, an expansion of the Cardboard SDK allowing developers to embed 360-degree VR content on a web page or in a mobile app, across desktop, Android, and iOS. [19] The JavaScript and HTML code for web publishing VR content is open source and available on GitHub, allowing developers to self-host their content. [20]
A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [4] It is not an SI unit—the SI unit of angular measure is the radian—but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [5]
