#ProjectSidewinder
summary
A prototype pipeline converts stereo VR footage captured on a GoPro Odyssey + Google Jump rig into per-pixel depth maps and feeds those into a novel view synthesis renderer that generates small positional head movements with correct parallax. The demo runs in a headset, letting viewers shift a few centimeters and see new camera viewpoints (walls reveal their sides, ornaments occlude correctly). Early Adobe tech, demonstrated working in real-time on stitched 360 video.
