Immersive Media has a very interesting [new] platform for capturing and displaying full 360 degree landscapes and experiences. The system seems to derive some inspiration from the 3-D sound recording technique using kunstkopf microphones. As you click on explore the demo movie below, picture how this could be mashed up into Google Earth.. Cool on it’s own, Add a dash of local search marketing, some geo-tagging and you’ve really got something…
CLICK the play button. Then CLICK and DRAG on the video screen to pan across the 360° view.
For some idea of what sound recordings using kunstkopf are like, check out Europealis with a set of headphones. John Cage was an early user of the system as well… I’ll dig up a link…
