The virtual reality software called Tvori has an option to export 360 video directly from the software. 

This is a super powerful capability so I decided to do a bit of an experiment creating a tunnel type video where the user would be moved through the tunnel with things of interest to look around and ending in a kind of floating feeling.

In Virtual Reality creations or 360 videos you have to be really careful how you are “moving”  your audience. 

I have found that quite a lot of people would recall their first experience in VR as being a negative one because they felt nauseous. One reason for this is likely that they did something with a fast moving environment like a roller coaster ride.

(Not to mention most people put on a scary horror experience to freak out their friends and have a good laugh at their expense and this definitely not going to invent a level of wonder and amazement which i feel is the real power of VR.) 

I was quite pleased with this first experiment you can check out the 360 video on YouTube in the link above or a flat version here below.

For me, the fact that you can export a 360 video really fast is super exciting and opening up new possibilities for creatives. 

As the current state of 3D modelling software where you can export a 360 degree video, you would usually export the video frame by frame and considering there is usually 24 frames a second in video and you want to export say a 3 minute video and each frame individually takes perhaps 3 minutes to export =

… well I'm not very good at maths but my first attempt at 360 degree video piece for a Halloween Ghost Train took a couple of all night renders to complete!
