Gulliver's Travels
Visitors are inserted with a 3D panorama representing a natural forest. The forest was photographed with 2 analog photographic machines with several shots. The third dimension of the image was extracted with disparity map algorithms. The panoramic image was created by stitching together the images and the depth maps. The visitors, with the help of our camera setup, could be inserted within the forest in real-time. With the user's gestures, one could become big or small and keep a snapshot of her or himself within the 3D panorama.
This work is exploring the third dimensional representation of video capture and images for panoramas in a composite and interactive way.
