Back in May last year John shared with us an awesome 360 degree video of the demolition of a football stadium.
Recently I stumbled upon this video of some awesome snowboarding in 360 degrees and was absolutely blown away.
Being able to literally look around in whatever direction you choose is just amazing, and in this video is implemented so well. I genuinely felt like I was riding down the slope with those guys! I am really hoping that we see some more of this kind of thing.
Any guesses as to how it might be done? I want a “lifehacker-esq” tutorial on my desk by 9am tommorow morning.
Go!

It looks like they had a rig with a bunch of cameras on it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10314275/how-they-filmed-in-3d.jpg

Imagine having to snowboard down a hill with that badboy strapped to you!

Sooo… what if you had like 4 projectors, and projected this kinda thing on all 4 walls of a room… and what if they shot the super bowl like that… think of how epic the super bowl parties would be! think of how epic video games would be! holy moly… we’re gonna have to learn how to use after effects for 4 wall videos!!
