Hello, I'm new to 3D (I'm actually a "2d" digital video editor...) and I'm having trouble finding the resources to answer a couple of questions. I've heard that a stereoscopic video feed (two cameras) filming up at a hemispherical mirror (for 360 degree camera) could provide a 360 degree image with "depth info" for the fore and the aft. Is this to say (1) A camera does not need to be pointing strait at the center of the hemispherical lens to record an accurate image of the 360 degree "horizon?" and/or (2) If there are two cameras (perfectly parallel to each other) a certain distance apart pointed up at a hemispherical mirror, an image can be approximated from the two cameras to correspond with a hypothetical camera (perfectly parallel) pointed up at the midpoint between them? Thank you, If anyone has any advice as to where to go to have these two questions answered I would greatly appreciate it. I just can't seem to wrap my 2d brain around them. N |
