Advice for buying a commercial full 360 video solution
Hi,
As many people here seem to be experienced 360 video enthusiasts, I would really appreciate any kind of feedback and recommendations on the current state of commercial solutions that allow a full 360 capture of a scene for interactive replay in VR (e.g. using the head tracking info of the Rift).
Audio is not an issue (another device could be used for this end), however the "complete visual sphere" should be captured with optimal resolution (best rendering quality at replay) and frame rate (best immersion).
Ideally the system would stitch the different captured views (in real time or as an automated post process by a provided software), but manual stitching isn't an issue in the case it allows for other advantages (e.g. better stitching, significantly lower price of the system, higher frame rate/resolution etc.).
So in short, what high quality VR capture devices available today would you recommend ?
Thanks,
Jeff.
