Dr. Siegfried Foessel of Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute offered an exploration of immersive technology through an introduction to German public research project PRIME (Production and Projection for Immersive Media), which is a consortium of eight partners. The group is working on R&D for immersive media.
–R&D for stereo production tools including development of new mini cameras and a field recorder for 3D/multiview that can be used for side by side rigs and mirror rigs. Additional developments include a stereoscopic analyzer that can be used as an on-set control and correction system.
–Development of tools for 2D/3D Panorama production, including an omnidirectional camera system (Omni-Cam) with resolution up to 12K x 2K image
