VR Movie Sets

Hello Oculus fans!

Just recently got a DK2 and decided to create some videos from my photogrammetry tests that I've been working on in my spare time: movie set and actor model reconstruction from bluray frames. There's a lot of noise and messy areas in the models (as they are straight out of Photoscan with zero cleanup) but I've tried to get the scales correct, referencing to the actual set dimensions when possible. I probably won't be releasing the actual scenes thru Oculus Share as they definitely contain some copyrighted stuff, but fortunately we have Youtube. Enjoy!:

Great stuff! Could you tell us a little more about the process? How long does it take you to convert a 2D frame into 3D with Photoscan? Do you use several consecutive frames to cover more of the 3D object?

The set models are constructed mostly from single tracking shots, using every 10th frame or so. The processing time depends on the number of frames used, but in these scenes it was usually less than 10 minutes. Sometimes you have to manually mask out actors and other moving stuff from the footage which can be the most time consuming part of the process.
The actor heads were bit trickier to capture. Some were constructed from tracking shots but mostly I used shots where the actors turn their head and masked out the rest of the body.
