Route Shooting BETA

This plug-in generates videos showing the route the camera moved by shooting a 360° video while moving. Camera position information* detected with Visual SLAM technology is assigned to 360° videos. This provides a new video experience in 360° that differs from conventional playback methods. Playing back the shot video on the camera displays the route that the camera moved. The video can be viewed like a 360° hyperlapse video from the start to the goal or up to a selected point. This allows spatial movement to be experienced vicariously as well as simulated, which is perfect for conveying a sense of space that cannot be fully communicated with photographs.

• Relative position information based on self-position estimation (this is not position information from a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System))

Videos may not be generated depending on the shooting environment and conditions.
