VR Video

• The whole idea of watching videos has taken a big
  leap of late. With the introduction of 360 degree
  VR videos, the experience of watching a video is
  an altogether new one. One of the most important
  steps in making this kind of video is the video
  stitching. In our previous blog, we have briefly
  spoken about this part but here we will discuss
  it in detail.
• Video stitching is basically the process of
  combining various videos with the overlapping
  fields in order to create a panoramic video in a
  single screen. This process in mostly performed
  with the help of a computer software which
  requires exact overlaps of video and identical
  exposures. So, lets have a look at the best
  video stitching softwares available.

• The first and the best one in the list is Video
  Stitch, a European start-up offering solutions
  for virtual reality video production. The company
  is highly committed to creating 360 degree
  virtual reality video live. It takes multiple
  cameras for creating a high resolution panoramic
  video covering the 360 degree angle without any
  blind spot. The user-interface of this software
  is very easy to understand and operate, which
  makes it the most-used video stitching software.
  The company is continuously adding more features
  in the app to offer the best solution to any
  virtual reality problem. Not just that, but the
  developers are working on to add technology that
  will let the users produce 360 degree 3D videos
  in the real-time preview.

• A company started in 2004 by Alexandre Jenny and
  Lionel Laissus, is the first one to recognize the
  potential of technology in identifying the

  Video, of the present time. The company works on
  the mantra of stitch and create videos 360 degree
  automatically. One of the best features of Kolor

• Designed by a student from the National
  University of Singapore, this is a revolutionary
  prototype. This is a high-definition video
  surveillance system which is carried and flown by
  quadcopters. It captures real-time video. In
  simple words, it stitches videos from multiple
  streams and creates a combined feed. This
  software is appropriate for aerial surveillance
  application that is in the requirement of wide
  angle view and high-resolution video. The biggest
  benefit of this video stitching software is that
  it can combine 12 HD quality videos in a single
  frame within just 50 milliseconds even at the
  prototype stage. This definitely is going to keep
  its market value very high, in near future.
• Currently, these are the only most popular VR
  video stitching softwares, though there are many
  image stitching softwares also available in the
  market if you would like to start with the
  basics. Some of the most used image stitching
  softwares are Hugin, PTGui, PanoramaPlus X4,
  ArcSoft Panorama Maker and Panoweaver 9.
