The image is mapped onto an equirectangular projection, which is quite similar to the Mercator projection.

I’m glad you asked! During the stitching process, software matches corresponding in each image to each other, and stitches them into a spherical image. We had 768 GB of footage and were ready to begin. When the MicroSD cards were full, we pulled each out with tweezers and copied them twice to two separate hard drives. We used the extended length to play out a few super-long narratives and arcs, and hide a few cool things, but overall there’s not much going on. By 45 minutes in, they were highly engaged in all the sweet toys we brought them. After about 15 minutes, the cats were happily playing with us.

It took a few minutes to feel comfortable in the space and learn how to engage the kitties without becoming the subjects of the video - some of us were better at this than others. If you watch the beginning, you’ll see our initial confusion about where to put our bodies and how to move. Try to get the cats to do interesting things. The participants, Forrest, Danger, Anna, Connor, Karen, and Aly, got a few instructions: Then we pushed 12 tiny "on" buttons, 12 tiny "record" buttons, and the video began. We hid a light around the corner to balance the daylight coming out of the window. ProTune - gives a flatter LOG image for greater latitude and color correction

They’re single points of failure, have tiny buttons and tiny microSD cards, and don’t allow for a great degree of control. As much as I wanted the curious cats to come up to the lenses and explore, we had to keep them back, so we put a 5' circular piece of sticky paper around the rig. When stitching the images together, things get really glitchy if a subject comes too close to the camera, unless this is specifically planned for. 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.
