create a Panoramic 360 Degree Movie using CleVR.
CleVR is a free panoramic photo sharing site and photo stitching software. It allows panoramas to be embedded into other web pages using a Flash viewer. Panoramas can be displayed with hotspots — areas in the scene that can be clicked to display other content or to navigate to another scene.
For this assignment, learning how to use CleVR the software is very important; however, at the same time, if you want to accomplish an outstanding assignment, you have to win some knowledge in shooting too. As for my assignment, I have a strong feeling, that is , a good or bad final panoramic movie should dependent not on how you use this software but on the pictures you shoot. Before hanging on this assignment, I have tried several times. Not enough photos cannot cover a perfect 360 degree screen which would affect the final export of the CleVR panoramic movie; while, too many photos would also become a burden for CleVR. When shooting and prepare the pictures/ photos for the panoramic 360 degree movie, here are some tips from Dr. Yuen:
a. When taking the pictures make sure you overlap each picture you take by about 10 to 15% so it will come out better later in the program;
b. You should have about 7 to 8 pictures.
And I would like to add one more point here, which is actually also gained from Dr. Yuen's IT753 course about shooting. The first time when I tried about shooting for this assignment, I made a mistake. I moved my digital camera when photoing for the panoramic scree. That is fatal for the post-editing in CleVR, because the principle for CleVR is to find similar pixels in adjacent pixels. If you shooting unsteadily, the pixels may be missed in CleVR, which is difficult for it to deal with. So, when taking pictures for CleVR, make sure that your digital camera is steady; do not move too frequently when shooting, which could benefit your CleVR editing.
