We recently engaged in a project involving 360° vidéos and VR.
The 360° video is recorded on a straight line in a given environment.
We then let the user:
- Go straight or backward (straight or backward in the video stream) (one direction movment)
- Click at some locations to display menus.
To solve the second point we are thinking about creating a simplified 3D parallel model of the video.
For example you have a 360° video on a straight line in your kitchen, we then create a simplified representation of this kitchen with the same scale.
