With new 360-degree technology, iPIX cameras let you immerse yourself in the images.
Come on in, take a look around. You can see everything clearly in here. Step forward-look up, down, take a little run to the left. Now turn around and look behind you. Where are you? Navigating through a digital 360 degree bubble video on the Internet, that's all.
You've never seen anything like it, but you will. Discovery Online and the Hawaiian Convention and Visitors Bureau are already experimenting with the system, while others on the sidelines are chomping at the bit. When the technology, called iPIX Movies, gains acceptance, it could revolutionize the world of entertainment.
Code-named V360, the technology includes a two-headed fish-eye camera lens, which resembles a glass ball, to capture full-motion, immersive, 360 degree video. The lens fits on a high-definition camera or standard film camera. Once the images are streamed to your computer through a broadband connection like a cable or phone line, proprietary software removes the distortion created by the lenses and corrects the fish-eye perspective for normal viewing. Then, you can you jump into the picture and explore the environment.
