Immersive panoramic video

Abstract
The acquisition and presentation of high-resolution panoramic video presents a number of technical difficulties. We demonstrate a system that acquires high-resolution (3Kx480) panoramic images. These images are recorded at 30Hz frame rates and played back for later viewing. During playback users wear a head-mounted display (HMD) and a head-tracking device that allows them to turn their heads freely to observe the desired portions of the panoramic scene. User impressions initially indicate that the experience produces a strong sense of immersion and this new form of media offers new options for creating immersive simulations./par
