Making a 3D video and playing it with the Oculus
Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to programming and using unity, but I have a question concerning a project I'm doing for school. Would it be possible to record a 3D video and make it play on the Ocul...
to shoot a 3d video you just need a 3d camera.
it is either a 3d ready camera (a few available, the best and cheapest would be the the fujifilm because the wide spacing between lenses) or a 3d camera made with two camera mounted side to side.
This is a bit trickier because you need to carefully align them and synchronize the shots.
The problem is you mentionned playing these videos with the oculus, so potentially, you are looking not only for stereoscopic ("3D") but also for panoramic field of view.
That is really more challenging because it requires a lot more camera (up to 15) and stitching ans synchronizing shots, a very tedious and time consuming job.
After you finally get the movie, you can play it with some ready made player for oculus or write your own into unity.
