Here are a few explorations using a 360 camera. Above are a series of panoramic photos. I tried to find moments where a 360 photo would be serene and peaceful to look at or moments where it grabs a moment and finds it amusing.

The two videos below are two of my more recent explorations. One feature that I loved about the Keymission is setting up a time-lapse. It provided what I was missing with just a single photo, that motion. In some event like a board game, you wouldn’t want to watch a group of people playing. When you put it into a time-lapse, for me and people I’ve showed it to at least, have a much more engaged response.  I did it again with people screen printing at Hey Monkey in Durham. The car video was me exploring a bit more with movement. Can I have the camera moving and not get sick? For me, yes!  I think this situation works because the relationship between the car and the camera is static. If the camera was moving around more, in a different motion than the car, I think that’s when the motion sickness would set in.

Can 360 video replace every instance where we would consume video? I’m not sure. I feel like it has its limitations and people are still trying to gauge them. I do enjoy seeing what people create and what I can explore. I would like to point out that I put VR and 360 Photo/Video in different categories. And that is because of 360 videos inherent quality of passive consumption and the high interactivity of most VR experiences.
