3D Streetview?
I am interested in trying to capture a static image sphere using 2 cameras in order to create a streetview like stereoscopic 3d experience, where the user wearing the Rift can pan around the image by ...
Simply rendering an already recreated 3d model(either generated from stereo images, kinect, or using something like photosynth) would probably be easier, but then I would be limited by scene complexity and how well it could be captured/reconstructed, I was hoping to have much more detail by doing everything in image space with reference images. My initial motivation was to create stereoscopic videos with a simple camera rig, but just a video in the Rift would not be as immersive as the user actually being able to look around in the environment. Of course I don't even know if my capturing tons of reference images idea is feasible, I was expecting to find examples of people who have already done something similar.
This is the closest paper I have found to what I was thinking of for generating new images, Physically-Valid View Synthesis by Image Interpolation. Most of the papers I have found are related to synthesizing new views from wide baseline cameras for use in teleconferencing applications.
