Last year, the light-field camera company Lytro struggled in the consumer-grade camera market and later turned to the VR field and launched its own VR light camera Immerge. And almost a year later, Lytro released the first sample taken by this camera.
This is a 30-second short film that shows the classic conspiracy theory in humor and American astronauts forged the moon. Astronauts achieve this historic moment by shooting groups lurking in the shadows.
Lytro thinks this is a historic moment. Because it is not simply that the audience looks around from a point in space, the audience can move their heads 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF) to achieve a more immersive experience.
This video can accurately reflect the user's movements according to the position of the user's head, and can display the correct stereoscopic image no matter where the head is facing. The traditional 360-degree camera will be in the stereoscopic image when the viewer tilts his head. There is a problem with the display.
The Immerge VR Camera is a 360-degree square camera, which means it captures light from all directions, including the color and direction of light. This allows you to experience the feeling of the real world. You look around and you can feel changes in light and reflection based on changes in location.
This “Moon†Demo has not been publicly shown to the user, but Lytro has released some behind-the-scenes footage of how to shoot it for the user. It also released a video on how to add CGI to a video shot with an Immerge camera.
