Moscow, Aerial test shooting VR 360

In early 2011, the development team presented a technique for shooting and editing 360 video using four Canon DSLR cameras. They published an article with technical details on their website. As an example, they presented the first test drive around the Kremlin by car. The article emphasizes that 360 video can be shot not only with professional cameras, but also with a device assembled from compact digital cameras, which has advantages in terms of size, weight and cost, as well as helping to reduce parallax.The team also showed the results of their aerial footage taken with a device created by a colleague. While the movie is not a masterpiece, it illustrates the technical possibilities of 360-video that new technologies have made available. Given the bans on flying over Moscow, they chose to film at sites on the outskirts of the city, particularly in the Crocus City Mall area, where helipads were available. They noted that a powerful computer and a fast Internet connection are required to comfortably watch 360-video online.
