By: Create Digital Motion » Polar Views of Video: Fodder for 3D, Pixel Bender Effects?

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:51:20 +0000

[...] Speaking of Adobe’s new Pixel Bender, VKNT writes about work he’s doing with polar views, as modified in an application that processes panoramic images called Pano2VR. It’s not a real-time process, in this case (though the finished result is built in Processing), but I don’t see why you couldn’t do some filter math in something like Pixel Bender or a conventional OpenGL filter that would do the same live. Could be fun stuff. VKNT writes: This is part of my research on movement in space and new ways to represent this. It is essentially a series of 360° panoramas following a path through a space. These spherical images are converted to an angular projection, which introduces a typical distortion. The further you get away from the center, the more distortion. The center of the image is determined by 3 parameters: pan, tilt en roll. I animated these parameters resulting in a sense of movement and deformation of the space.

Thanks!
In the end I had to rush to get the project done for the opening, so it’s possible that I used the library incorrectly. I’ll do some tests, and drop you a mail.

Hey Valentijn. Nice project!

I’m curious to hear the problems you had with the equations. To be honest I haven’t used them lately, but I haven’t discovered any major problem when using them.

Best!
Jesús.
