Last night we tried a few of the demo settings on the PixelStick hard drive. It takes a little bit of getting used to. You have to bracket your photo exposures for the length of time of the projected image, background, foreground and depth of field. You can also experiment with the shape and form of each image depending on how long you make your projection. It's a good start and we can't wait to upload some of our own images now and really experiment and push a few boundaries with this gizmo. Watch this (dark) space !
360 Degree Camera
LBM have just recently purchased a new 360 degree camera. The 'Theta 360' produced by Ricoh takes x 2 photographs or videos with a 180 degree perspective on each side of the camera. Once you have taken your photo or video you upload your footage into the conversion software that will allow you to combine the two viewpoints merging them into a sphere like frame. The best part of it is that you can explore any part of the image you like by swiping directions on your Smart Phone/Computer with the App or view it and control it straight to YouTube. Stay tuned to LBM's blog for updates , experiments and interesting perspectives using the 'Theta 360'.
