Immersive video
Encyclopedia
An immersive video is basically a video
recording of a real world scene, where the view in every direction is recorded
at the same time. During playback the viewer has control of the viewing direction, up down & sideways. Generally the only area that can't be viewed is the view toward the camera support. The material is recorded as data
which when played back through a software player allows the user control of the viewing direction and playback speed. The player control is typically via a mouse
or other sensing device and the playback view is typically 4:3 window on a computer display
or projection screen
or other presentation device such as a head mounted display.
Sometimes the phrase "immersive video" is used to describe full-size teleconferencing capabilities, such as Cisco
