DevalVR news http://www.devalvr.com News about DevalVR development Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:21:07 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Spherical video camera http://www.devalvr.com/?p=178 http://www.devalvr.com/?p=178#comments Tue, 01 Jun 2010 09:21:11 +0000 admin http://www.devalvr.com/?p=178 We are working from some time ago in the construction of a new spherical video camera. The target of this project is to create an inexpensive camera for spherical video recording. This device is under development, but it will be available soon. Some images of the latest prototype:

Front 360 camera

Corner 360 camera

For video recording it’s neccessary a laptop with an expresscard slot and Windows XP SP2 (or above).

The camera does not require an aditional power supply, all the power is obtained from the laptop, so, this is a very autonomous configuration.

They exist removable UV filters in front of every lens, to assure the best image quality and protection.

They exist two modes of capturing, full and half resolution, with these features:

- Half resolution: 3000×1500 at max. 30FPS
- Full resolution: 6000×3000 at max. 10FPS

The data is stored in MJPEG format in the laptop. This requires really a great amount of hard disk space, but the video can be compressed after capturing with any high performance video codec. Or any video frame could be extracted as a single spherical panoramic image.

At this moment we are working in the capturing software. This is an screenshot of the work in progress:

The site uses images with a similar number of pixels for all viewers, so it’s possible to compare the behavior of any viewer to load and show the images, and how many resources are used by every viewer.

Not all viewers are available for all Operating Systems, for example, DevalVR is only available for Windows, PangeaVR is only available for Mac, and Spi-V is only available for Windows and Mac platforms. Some Flash and Java viewers have problems in some Linux distributions too.

Good resource to see every panoviewer face to face! ;-)

Maybe DevalVR is a good option :)

You can see in this event Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in front of a big LCD screen with DevalVR.

This is an example to insert a player of 480 x 300 pixels, to view a panoramic picture with QuickTime and DevalVR :

This is the code for this example:

{qtvr mansion1.mov 480 300 devalvr( "autoplay", "3", "autoplayspeed", "-4") selection( Choose viewer: , detect, devalvr, qt)}

best regards!

update:

The plugin is available in the WordPress repository: QTVR Viewer
