Should so do the same with two action cams, an eye-width apart, each going to a separate eye in the glasses; would likely regain some depth perception to help with things like ping-pong.
I think there are algorithms or some softwares that can help synchronise both cameras to create one image, don't know if its possible on video. They should look into that.
What's more ridiculous: Living in third person, or walking around with that stick out the back and the glasses and everything. I dare you guys to wear that in public for at least a short while... Anyway great video as always from the Studio channel! Was very fun and I loved the GUI simulation for the tasks!
wow, jono is here now too? The studio has never seized to surprise me with who they are hiring. As pleasant as a surprise as seeing hayato and david on here for the first time.
As someone who is definitely maybe on the spectrum. It is great to see so many people who are also definitely maybe on the spectrum. The spectrum is pretty big so we are all kind of on it
Amazing! Next chapter, I wanna see an accelerometer attached to you guys' head, controlling the field of you of a wider-angle footage 😃 Then making it actually be 2 cameras, for stereoscopic view which should give you depth 😎
I wanted to try this idea for my own adventures in Japan. I guess you need a laptop and run a little code in clamshell mode. But walking outside, people might stare weirdly at the giant rod coming out of back.
What about mounting the camera to a drone I think you can make it work Does drone have a feature to follow an object at specific height . You can make it happen
A great idea would be an Insta 360 and some head tracking to turn the POV as the head moves instead of needing the shoulders, would be insane. Anyway, well done guys !
I was thinking of doing this kind of thing for a cosplay at some point. Glad to have some documentation on a possible execution readily available. good work and thank you kindly!
Doing a stereoscopic view would be the next stage. I think it would improve the experience a lot and actually make it convincing you are there when playing mario kart for example.
This is sick! I think you could take this idea further and mount another action cam on the head and integrating a button of sorts on the backpack or sth that lets you switch between 3rd person and 1st person. I mean it's very stupid, but i imagine it makes you feel like you're in a video game even more!
This isn't the first time I've seen someone attempt this. But I think that this rig is definitely the least bulky. Honestly though, I don't think you're getting the proper experience if you're too busy worrying about the physical location of the 3rd person camera. Would it be possible to have a small drone set to automatically follow you as you move and to always stay behind your head? And also to avoid obstacles. If you could get a drone to do it, the user would be able to focus more on the actual activity. Plus, if you somehow got the drone to follow the back of the head, you could program it to change angles just by turning your head.
