#squarepeg
As VR becomes mobile, 360 video is proliferating. But what is still missing is the ability to mix 360 with traditional video, a crucial technique for directing attention and advancing story, much like cutscenes in computer games. In this somewhat risky and quite technical project, you will attempt to create a mobile app that allows mixed display of flat and spherical video.
Clients: Steven King of UNC's journalism school
Team: Ankit Garg, Lee, Mishra, Ni, Rather
