2 Sports Cars in interactive virtual reality

<p>Hi,<br>

Thought I might share a couple of virtual reality photographs that I have just prosessed.<br>

Was on a job last week taking a couple VR's for a local shopping centre, the second shot had to wait as two of the shops hadn't opened - had to wait untill 12.00 for them to open. While waiting I had a walk around and got chatting to this chap advertising his driving experience business. As I had my gear with me and had time on my hands I took some shots. <br>

This one is of a Honda team Halfords Touring Car (Mugen V-Tec Type-R 260bhp).<br /><a href="http://www.peterstephens.co.uk/honda_v-tec.php">http://www.peterstephens.co.uk/honda_v-tec.php</a><br>

and this one of a Caterham Superlight<br /><a href="http://www.peterstephens.co.uk/caterham.php">http://www.peterstephens.co.uk/caterham.php</a><br>

 

<p><br />Would be nice to know what you think...<br>

Best Wishes,<br>

<p>Hi Peter, they look great, and when viewed full screen very crisp and clean. For commercial work I do a lot of 360° VR's myself, but those have always been in large interiors of buildings. So I wonder, did you use any particular panohead / tripod / camera / method - other then the one(s) used for normal interiors - that allows you to shoot the panos in such a small and confined space as the interior of a car ?</p>

<p>Hi, thanks for viewing the images and your comments. I mainly photograph interiors of buildings too. The car images are quite time consuming to process and you have to make sure your camera equipment is setup well. I use a smallish tripod inside the car, a manfrotto 190 and a large Benbo 11 tripod for the nadir shot. Camera used is a Nikon D200 with a 10.5mm fisheye. Method is no different than that used for a building interior, just make sure everything is tight and solid - and experiment with it, it took me a few goes to get it right.<br>

Cheers,<br>

Pete</p>

<p>Ok, thanks for the answer. I figured that car interior panos are a bit more of a specialty and timeconsuming then regular interiorpanos, which are more straightforward. But it might be a specialty that offers some commercial value. Trial and error it will be then first...</p>

<p>Good luck with it, they take a while to process but well worth the effort.</p>
