The document discusses 360-degree or omnidirectional cameras that capture images and videos from all directions, highlighting their application in fields like virtual reality and robotics. It covers the technological aspects, such as image stitching, and outlines the advantages and disadvantages of using these cameras. Despite their growing popularity, the document suggests that while 360-degree video may have niche applications, it is unlikely to achieve mainstream adoption due to challenges in content creation and user experience.

3. • 360 Camera or Ominidirctional camera is a camera or combination of camera
with a 360-degree field of view in the horizontal plane, or with a visual field
that covers (approximately) the entire sphere. Omnidirectional cameras are
important in areas where large visual field coverage is needed, such as
in panoramic photography and robotics.
• 360 camera captures light from all directions falling onto the focal point,
covering a full sphere.

8. • Each camera have slots which have
different takes of snap at the same time.
• Each video takes 48 frames per second.
• The videos will be arranged to specific
template pattern.
• Using the Stitching method all videos are
combined and form a new 360 degree
video.

9. • Image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining
multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a
segmented panorama or high-resolution image.

15. • 360-degree video is being hyped because that's the quickest way to get people to adopt
VR but it's something that won't last. There will surely be specialized use-cases for 360-
degree video but to say it will go mainstream is a bit of a stretch. VR content will
continue to focus on gaming and other interactive apps as it is the most logical choice
however, video will most likely take a back seat as it is not easy creating video content
for this medium.
• Till date, most 3D movies do a mediocre job at presenting a headache-free 3D
experience and most of them are just an afterthought because that's what's expected
from movies these days. It's difficult enough to film in 3D, imagine what the challenges
will be like to film for 360-degree video, let alone editing a full-length movie for a 360
experience.
