KOSMONAVTES ESCAPE REALITY APP STORE SERIES
The tool walks you through taking a series of images to capture a 360° view of your reality and you can make it all one photo, or insert a video in parts of the frame.
It feels similar to how you take a panoramic video or photo on your phone, except it doesn’t have to be one streamlined photo. It hurts your head a little bit, but I think that’s just getting used to viewing VR on your phone.Ĭreating a Splash is a cool experience, so once you start creating on the Splash canvas, it all makes a little more sense. Overall, each Splash feels like looking at a place on Google street view, but with people moving in it. The app takes some getting used to, and I think if the company’s goal is to become a Snapchat-like version for 360° virtual realities, there’s a lot of work to do. Next to his face were an imagine of a crocodile and shark and a question asking “If you could dispose Bieber would it be shark/croc #thisorthat?” The welcome tools walked me through swiping side to side and ‘liking’ something, so I suppose that’s the purpose of this gimmick, but, it was an odd view for a first time user. On the home screen I was met with an image and the sounds of Justin Bieber. Upon opening the app, my first impression was that I was, well, confused, to say the least. I recently downloaded Splash and tested it to experience creating a 360° video. When watched within a VR device, Ronen says the content feels even more immersive, as if you are in the person’s perspective. When watching Splashes in 360° format viewers are invited to explore and unveil the world of another person. Ronen describes their technology as “video painting,” noting that their core technology is a real time stitching algorithm and the ability to place many looping videos on a 360° canvas. “With Splash, you easily paint your reality in video.”
“They focus on having a perfectly stitched photo-which takes time and is a very technical process,” explains Ronen. Ronen explains that the Google Cardboard and Street view app allows you to capture 360° panoramic photos, but no video. The app mimics what it’s like to wear a VR headset. Splash is the first consumer virtual reality app on the app store and essentially allows you to capture a 360° video of your surroundings that you can view and share on your phone. “Splash is a new medium for telling stories and sharing everyday experiences in a much more immersive, revealing way than normal photos or videos.” “360 videos can show you more of the situation,” says Michael Ronen, Co-founder and CEO of Splash. Since their launch, the app has received over 30,000 downloads. The app recently started making headlines after launching at SXSW earlier this year.
Do you ever wonder what it might be like to create and experience a virtual reality videos? Do people really want to view VR on their phones? Well, you can now experience it on your phone with Splash 360, a new video app that allows users to capture, share and communicate through virtual reality.
