VR at Google — Jeremy Doig, Engineering VP, Virtual Reality at Google

Shooting 360° Video: Challenges and Solutions — Ignacio Margelí Ferrando, Zaragoza, Spain

Ignacio will explain the different challenges these 360° video projects brought and the solutions that had to be developed to solve these. He will go into detail about three projects – Waterloo, Senegal and South Africa – because they involved collaborations with other 360 video professionals, and because this, for Ignacio, highlights the importance of the IVRPA conferences; this is where we met, and where the project seeds were planted. The networking that happens here can lead to partnerships that can solve difficult challenges and lead to amazing projects.
