Flash Multinode Video Tour With Lucid Viewer

May 19, 2008

Lucid Viewer lets you make a multinode panoramic video movie. I had the pleasure of a visit from Bill Meilkle during his world tour, where he showed off the ladybug panoramic video camera he is using to record his adventures. We shot a sequence of 3 shots which I have finally been able to link together with the help of Jason Villmer's Lucid Viewer. The movie above demonstrates a basic virtual reality video tour. When you get to the end of the hallway and onto the street, you will see 2 hotspots which allow you to select which way to continue along the street.

I should also point out that I was able to mount the ladybug atop my home made stabiliser, although at the time I still had a lot to learn about its operation and was hampered somewhat by having wires connecting from the camera to Bill and his laptop who you can see trailing along behind.
