Immersive Media – Texas A&M University

October 24, 2008

This was our first shoot working with Immersive Media, a Portland based company that has developed a 360 degree camera. Its basically 11 cameras mounted in a cylindrical orb. All 11 streams are fed into a backpack mounted, (or tripod mounted, car, etc), hard drive unit. Editors then “stitch” the streams together into a seamless virtual reality 360 degree shot. Pretty amazing stuff.

Very small adjustments to the counterbalance system really help it to float like a Steadicam
