Thanks to phase4 for making that panoramic video posted above. I have really been enjoying it, having lived through the whole adventure as it happened, its especially gratifying to be able to point the viewport as if you're a passenger riding with Oppy and sort of look out the window and see what comes into view, like the dune tendrils in Endurance, the bashed heatshield, getting stuck in purgatory, those micro-craters on the long trek to Victoria, and so much more.. point your viewport to the south and watch Endeavor pop up into view, keep it trained on the ridge behind and watch solander point fade into the distance. Future rovers should upgrade the navcam system to a true 360 cam which would keep the view fluid and unobstructed by all the gaps across the sols.
Its so cool to be able to experience it this way and is something i've wanted to make a project of on my own but never quite had the experience or time to try to figure it out. Now it would really be cool if the Vimeo player had more game-like controls for playback speed, fwd, rev, fov.. or maybe if the source video format is portable to other players... |

Thank you very much, phase4, for this now two(!) videos. The first video was wonderful, and I watched it with my Samsung Gear VR. It was very impressive. As many others here I followed the mission from the very first touchdown and I could identify most of the sceneries without problems.
My question would be: What about making this a real 3D movie? You gave this answer 9 hours ago, as I found this video: https://vimeo.com/322369902. Here are the panoramas are displayed in 3D, so we can see it in real 3d with a head set. Thank you very much for this! It would be perfect to get the whole journey in 3d, maybe a little slower. -------------------- Need more input ...
