360° Video with Papervision3D

This movie requires Flash Player 10

Click and move your mouse over the movie.

Concept :

First, you need a movie filmed with a 360° camera.
This is what the original movie looks like :

Here is the FLV file :
http://www.cornflex.org/files/video3d/videos/new_york.flv

And you can see what the camera looks like on this page.

The idea was to apply the BitmapData of that movie on a GeoSphere.

The GeoSphere is made in 3DSMAX with flipped faces and exported in ASE Format.
The ASE Format is readable by Papervision3D.

Then you just need to draw your bitmapData into a texture you apply to the ASE in ActionScript.

About videos :

The videos I use come from ImmersiveMedia.com.
This 360° Video System was already made by ImmersiveMedia but only for the Shockwave plugin.
I think I have a good approach here with the Flash Player plugin ;)
