Book excerpt: Virtual reality can transport you across town or around the world. And it's easy and inexpensive to test the (virtual) waters-not only as someone who views VR content but also creates it. In this course, photographer, educator, and author Ben Long introduces the essential concepts and tools behind photographic- and video-based VR. After detailing a brief history of VR, Ben shows a sampling of inexpensive VR viewers (such as VR apps and VR goggles for your smartphone) and where to go to check out great VR content. He also reviews the tools and techniques for creating your own VR photos and videos, and dealing with challenges in post-production, such as moving media to the computer, stitching and mapping 360-degree images and video, playing back VR video, and sharing VR content online.

Book excerpt: Book and accompanying video with over six hours of video training—all geared to teach you everything about shooting video with your DSLR With the arrival of high-definition video-enabled DSLR cameras, photographers are faced with an opportunity for creativity and a competitive edge in their field unlike anything they’ve experienced before. Add to that the expanding demands from a video-hungry audience and it’s no longer a matter of if you are going to add video to your repertoire of skills, it’s when. Here to guide you in a thorough exploration of the video-making process — from preproduction to post — and to ease your transition from still to motion are four veterans who speak the language of both photography and video fluently. With their clear, instructive approach, they quickly get you up to speed on everything from picking your gear, to properly lighting for motion, to using professional-level audio, color correction, and editing techniques, to media management and outputting, and much more. Here are just a few highlights from this richly illustrated, completely interactive book and video: Explores the entire spectrum of video for DSLR camera owners, with recommendations on gear, planning, lighting, lenses, audio, editing, color correcting, exporting, media management, and more. Covers a wide variety of shooting styles, including indoor, outdoor, studio, portrait, event, and available light. Addresses technical challenges associated with DSLR video, such as camera movement, multiple camera coverage, low-light videography, and synchronized sound. Explores additional creative techniques such as stop motion and timelapse photography in depth. Includes a real-world example of a music video and promo package throughout the book to demonstrate concepts in action, with additional profiles of photography experts in nature, sports, commercial, and weddings and events. The accompanying video contains over 6 hours of video training that delves deeper into each topic, as well as high-definition footage, hands-on project files, and templates to experiment with and follow along.

Download or read book Learning for 360 Video Compression Recognition and Display written by Yu-Chuan Su and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 360° cameras are a core building block of the Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology that bridges the real and digital worlds. It allows us to build virtual environments for VR/AR applications from the real world easily by capturing the entire visual world surrounding the camera simultaneously. With the rapid growth of VR/AR technology, the availability and popularity of 360° cameras are also growing faster than ever. People now create, share, and watch 360° content in their everyday life, and the amount of 360° content is increasing rapidly. While 360° cameras offer tremendous new possibilities in various domains, they also introduce new technical challenges. These challenges span over the entire 360° video production pipeline, ranging all the way from video capturing to high level applications. For example, the 360° field-of-view makes it difficult to display the content to users, and the distortion in the planar projection degrades the performance of both the compression and visual recognition algorithms. Many of the challenges remain unsolved or even unexplored, which prohibits people from exploiting the full potential of the new media. This leads to a dire need for a more mature 360° video production pipeline like those for traditional media. To this end, my thesis targets three fundamental challenges in 360° production--video compression, visual recognition, and 360° video display. Because a proper compressed format is the foundation of all video technologies and applications, I begin with improving 360° video compression. It has been shown that existing video codecs do not perform well on 360° video, and 360° video compression standard is under rapid development. Complementary to the ongoing progress in 360° video compression standards, I propose to exploit the orientation of the 360° video projection for a better compression rate. The method explores a new dimension in video compression and is compatible with existing compression technologies. It reduces video sizes to allow easy storage and transmission of 360° videos. Besides being able to collect and distribute 360° content, another prerequisite for building advanced applications on top of the new media is the ability to analyze the visual content. Therefore, I next study visual recognition on 360° imagery. I propose a general approach that transfers an existing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on perspective images to 360° imagery. It allows us to transfer knowledge from perspective images to 360° images, including both the network architecture and training data. Compared with existing strategies for applying existing CNN models on 360° data, the method sacrifices neither accuracy nor efficiency and does not need any additional annotation effort. The method allows us to perform visual recognition on the new format given an existing CNN model with zero manual labor. After building the basis for 360° video applications, I finally tackle one of the most important applications of 360° video: displaying the video content to users. The common interface for 360° video display requires human viewers to actively control "where" to look while watching the video. This task is non-trivial, and a poor navigation will lead to a sub-optimal user experience. I propose to address this problem by controlling the viewing direction automatically and formulate it as an automatic videography problem in 360° video. I further propose a data-driven approach that finds important content in 360° videos and controls the viewing direction to focus on the discovered content. The method takes the burden of choosing "where to look" off the human viewer and provides an easier and better viewing experience. Combining the proposed solutions, my research builds a basic pipeline for 360° video production ranging from video storage, processing, to display. This pipeline can also serve as the basis for other 360° video applications such as 360° video editing and will allow both the content creators and technology developers to further explore the possibility of the new media

Download or read book Making Virtual Reality a Reality written by Alison Valk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walks readers through the key components of developing library-led research and programming that leverages emerging technologies with the goal of engaging students and faculty. As educational curricula and research evolve to include advanced technologies, libraries must offer programming with these emerging technologies in mind, including the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). In this timely guide, Valk, Mi, and Schick present readers with tools for assessing their level of organizational readiness to begin such programs and, more importantly, how to sustain them with limited budgets, expertise, and resources. Building on their own experiences, the authors teach readers how to develop technology-rich classes, assess student projects, and overcome technical hurdles. They spotlight this kind of programming as integral to building strategic partnerships in an educational environment. Readers will learn how to adapt and design programs or initiatives in which the necessary technologies are rapidly changing, not only in higher education institutions, but also in schools. Worksheets and resources assist readers in reflecting on their own work and developing educational programming to suit their organizational needs.
