My final project is filming a 360 video, so I came across some problem in the stitching process. When I stitched the video, I found out that one frame was in the wrong place and under the other frames. But when I dragged it in the correct area, it did not matched with other frames. So I opened the auto pano giga and tried to edit it. Unfortunately, it did not work even if I clicked the ghosting area with some green dots. Then, I googled it and watched some...

NEW 400 VR presentation I am going to present a new shopping device Buy+ created by Alibaba Group in China. Wearing Buy+, customers can shop online in a virtual scene. It is a gift for female shopaholics and a nightmare for their husbands. The device will be released in August. I simply introduce its technology, benefits and problems. Here are the videos that I use in my PointPoint.
It took me a long time to figure out how to animate the character, which I made a big mistake. I refer to the character in the asset rather than the character in the scene. Finally, it is done.

I wanted to create a scene where gorillas are fighting against dinosaurs, because those dinosaurs are reborn in the world and are looking for a place to settle down. However, the jungle has been occupied by gorillas, so they have a fierce fight in order to decide who can live in the jungle forever. I tried to figure out the first person controller because I had to adjust it all the time in order not to fall through the terrain. After trying it for several times, I adjusted the first...

One year ago, professor Takahashi took us to the innovation lab and let us experience the virtual reality gears. Although the technology was not so mature as it is today, I still remember the excitement when I put on Oculus headsets. At that time, I saw a 360 degree and 3D natural scenery with a butterfly flying around. Last semester, I interviewed Andy Wright, publisher of the New York Times Magazine, for my class project. He told me that they were collaborating with VRSE and Google Cardboard to launch virtual...
