Assignment 2 : Panoramic 360 Degree Movie

The second assignment that we were required to complete for this semester was a Panoramic 360 Degree Movie. To successful complete this assignment there were certain requirements that we had to meet. The minimum requirements for this assignment are as follows:

Create a Panoramic 360 Degree Movie using CleVR. Find your favorite spot and take a series of pictures with your digital camera. Set your camera with the lowest resolution since you will resize the images resolution to about 800 x 600 pixels later. Be sure that you stand in the same spot, move approximately 60 degrees right to take your next picture for your 360 degree panorama. Also, when taking the pictures make sure you overlap each picture you take by about 10 to 15% so it will come out better later in the program. You should have about 7 to 8 pictures. Then, follow the instructions from the lecture notes on CleVR to create a panoramic 360 image. Upon completion of your assignment, embed your panoramic movie in Assignment 2 Forum of IT 644 Social Network.

Creating this movie was rather complicated in the beginning. The first tool that we were using was very dysfunctional and confusing. Once Dr.Yuen change the tool that we were required to use completing the assignment became must easier. To take the pictures I used for this assignment I used my digital camera. These pictures that I used were of my living and dining room. I didn’t have a tripod so taking the pictures at the exact same level was challenging. Even though I tried my hardest to keep my arm level my pictures were still a little off. After uploading the pictures I was left with several ghosts, that I couldn’t get rid of. Using this tool was very enriching and I look forward to using it in the future. Below you can view the completed project.

  1. I had the same problem when I used my digital camera. I didn't have a tripod so it was challenging for me to get all the pictures the same height so I had ghosts. I think this is a pretty good tool and I do see myself using it again in the future.

  2. Good job on the inside photos. I had problem with too much overlap that created giant blurs. I appeard that you got it just right and did an outstanding job.
