With the new BitmapData capabilities of Flash8 I think it should be possible to emulate the image morphing going on in Quicktime (and I’ve also seen it in Java) 360 vr photos (examples plus short explanation at this site: http://www.panoramas.dk/quicktime/index.html).
The challenge lies in: “The image should also change perspective so that you actually get the feeling of looking around. Panoramic viewers which just scrolls the panoramic image are not in my opinion VR Photography.”
I believe the only problem would be performance since the Flash Player isn’t very fast at rendering stuff. I myself however do not have the knowledge required to program something like that.
I was thinking maybe someone who understands more about these things would find it an interesting app to build. I’m sure it would be really appreciated.
Or if someone could point me to some articles explaining how this is done, I could probably do it myself and share the results.
What do you guys think?
