Float

Leap Motion Controlled 360 composite video


Float is an experimental 360 composite of 2D source footage to create a spherical video.  I used the After Effects plugin Fulldome, a plugin designed for planetariums, in order to combine the footage into the equirectangular projection required for playback in the Lucid player.  Touchless control is accomplished with the Leap Motion device, but better controls would be achieved with custom software designed specifically for a panoramic viewer.  An interactive demo can be viewed here, but download may be slow.
