Webinar description:

One of the more exciting aspects of creating interactive content for the web is virtual reality (VR) photography. Two methods are used extensively today to bring viewers into a virtual environment and give them control over what and how they see – panoramic VR and object VR. Panoramic VR allows viewers to interact on screen within a location or scene, looking outward in all directions. Object VR allows viewers the ability to look inward at an object, and to essentially rotate and view it from any angle.

In this webinar, pioneering VR photographer Scott Highton will explore techniques and methods for Object VR photography, including how to make some of your own equipment. Scott was the original photography consultant to Apple during their development of QuickTime VR™, and has developed numerous creative techniques for VR photography in the years since. He was selected to be one of Manfrotto’s Local Heroes for his education efforts and contributions to the industry, and is author of the seminal book on the subject, Virtual Reality Photography.

Regards,

Scott Highton
