I must confess, I might actually attempt to bake this as
part
of my latest project.
The goal would be to use a VR viewer such as the Oculus
Rift,
and the linked 2D to 3D image conversion tool to revisit
places that you've been in, or places you've never been in

So, essentially this idea is Photoshop on steroids? |
|
| |
not quite -- the idea is that you are able to actually
walk around and immersively re-experience a place
where you've
been (by having
taking an ordinary digital picture) |
|
| |
The intent is good ("revisit places that you've been in, or places you've never been in") but the TNT (Tools & Tech) available today make the execution more like "watch a pixelated video game simulation of a real place" and less like "immersively re-experience" or " Wesley Crusher takes a weekend off in the holodeck ". |
|
| |
However, the idea does fulfill the category, and just because it doesn't ring my bell means little or nothing. There is probably a market. |
|
| |
I'm doing a lot of work with the Oculus -- it is much
more immersive than you might imagine. Granted
the tech demonstrated in the link has lots of
limitations, but it's actually pretty incredible
nevertheless |
|
| |
And depending on how the T&T advances, we are either at the daguerreotype stage of a developing process, or stuck in the "we'll all have flying cars" phenom. |

Gets my vote as it includes missing out on the original mosquitoes, dysentery and vendors saying "For you I make special price" |
|
| |
See link (Google Maps/Earth Wayback Machine). You
can already do that for popular public places. |
|

That said, google doesn't yet map the inside of my
house. So, I think it'd be nice for my kids, when
they get older, to "walk around" their childhood
home. So, I just take videos of us walking around
the house & outside. If I didn't do that, then I could
use your bakeable idea hear to stitch something
together from pics. |
