Prototyping and designing in React. Outputs to Sketch.

Most 360 content isn’t very good. Whether or not you consider this content to be “true” VR, the truth is much of it isn’t even worth debating. For every standout from a team like Felix and Paul, there are 20 low-resolution examples overflowing with meh. But even the best ones now look like garbage compared to what I just finished seeing at F8. Hidden in a side hall of the San Jose Convention Center, and shown by invitation only, were Facebook’s and FLIR‘s brand new cameras. The x24 and x6 were both on display in the Facebook Surround 360 demo chamber. After being ushered past a series of security guards I emerged in a room divided by a few temporary walls. In the center were the two cameras in all their spherical glory…With the push of a button my world exploded outward. Suddenly the palm tree I had been admiring was inches from my face rather than part of a two dimensional wall of color. I could suddenly tell just how high up I was as the ground fell away. All around me reality had gone from a flat plane to a vibrant swath of depth and color. In all of this, the image clarity remained incredibly high resolution. The only glitch was a stitching bug that placed a sort of blur effect on certain edges.
