We called it the Medusa because it has cool hair and steals your soul: Credit: Michael Morgenstern We rigged up the cameras to draw power from two USB hubs (a GoPro lasts about 40 minutes without being plugged in). The 12 images get stitched into two panoramas, one for the left eye and one for the right. The rig places cameras in a pentagonal pattern, with two on each side to record the left and right eye images, plus one facing up and one facing down. We filmed the video with 12 borrowed GoPros and a stereoscopic rig. In the right environment, virtual reality can hit you with a power that non-immersive video can’t, evoking empathy and wonder. That’s when I became fascinated with what this technology could bring. He smiled and I unconsciously mirrored his facial expression, just as I would in a real room. When I moved my head, the man didn’t move - the Oculus created the illusion that he was in front of me. That’s how I remember it - not as a video, but as a room. I remember stepping into an Oculus at Sundance 2015 and being in a room with a man. Below, I detail the complex process of its creation. Weighing in at 1 trillion pixels, it’s the longest 360º video uploaded to YouTube to date. We launched on YouTube’s 360º video platform, which provides a virtual reality experience even without goggles - your phone acts as a window into the cafe, and by moving it left, right, up, and down, you can see all parts of the video. It’s a 2-hour virtual reality experience of San Francisco’s KitTea cat cafe. Yesterday, we released the biggest cat video ever made: the #Catquarium.
