About 360stories.net

The concept of 360stories relates to the early stage of creation of feature 360-degree film stories. The trials of different methods are gathered on this website. Most of the movies were recorded using spherical video cameras (Ladybug2 and Ladybug3) and present stories by the application of the same or similar techniques of presenting narratives as in the early cinema and characterise the following features:
- the application of commentary of a lecturer
- creation of travel genre movies
- lack of advanced video editing
- lack of actors
- lack of dialogues

The research about merging video panoramas and narratives continues.

I would like to express my gratitude towards ICCI from the University of Plymouth for their support in the creation video panoramas presented on this website. You are welcome to upload your 360story to this website.

This YouTube video explains one of the methods of gathering 360stories:

KRAKOW (POLAND)

Expand more info

This is only a short part of 360story that was recorded in Krakow in Poland. This video panorama presents the display of this narrative on the 360-degree screen - Arena360. This immersive screen was built at the University of Plymouth for the period of one week in February 2010 and enabled testing 360stories.

Krakow is my hometown and is one of the oldest city in Poland, which historic centre was inscribed to the prestiguous UNESCO World Heritage List. Krakow has one of the largest squares in Europe and it is one of the most visited cities in the Eastern Europe. Tourist approach was a leading idea for the generation of a 360story which could be extended in the future to the creation of nonlinear 360-degree stories around this city. The 360- degree video was captured in spring 2009.
