But you’re talking about $3,700 for the basics otherwise, which will put this kind of technology within reach of a lot of digital directors. The Kolor software costs about $700. Each GoPro is about $500. But what may be most remarkable of all is that the tools to create this kind of clip cost just a few thousand dollars. Intel posted a longer description of how the video was conceived and produced. But imagine if something like this gets baked into Netflix?
Of course, we’re all expecting this will be the new normal when watching content on things like Oculus Rift. On the other hand, such an immersive experience also invites repeat viewings to discover all sorts of details you never could have caught in one viewing.
There’s tons of action happening in every direction at the same time, even if you’re not seeing it at any given moment. Viewing the whole scene, you can imagine how filmmakers will have to dramatically rethink a scene where the viewer may eventually have total control of the vantage point. Kolor is a French company based in the eastern town of Alpespace near the Alps.
In this case, the video was shot using 6 GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition cameras, edited on a desktop computer that uses an Intel Core i7 processor, with integrated Intel Iris graphics, and then stitched together using Kolor Autopano Video Pro software. YouTube’s platform now supports this immersive, 360-degree view of videos. The technology basically takes the Street View capability we already have in Google Maps and enables it for streaming video.
