Google seriousness in working on virtual reality devices
continues. After Google Cardboard was presented as a solution to enjoy virtual
reality technology by using affordable material, now they introduce Google Jump.
In developing Google Jump, Google works together with GoPro
that's known as a popular action camera manufacturer. Google Jump itself is a
virtual reality system that consists of a device and a special application.
With the Google Jump system, you will be able to produce
videos that can be viewed in 360 degrees using a virtual reality headset. To
enjoy the virtual reality videos, you will need a smartphone, Youtube
application and of course Google Cardboard.
For video recording device, Google utilizes 16 GoPro cameras
that are arranged in a circular with special geometric pattern that's designed
by Google. Just like the Google Cardboard, the pattern will be released soon so
that the users can try to make their own Google Jump device.
All the videos that are recorded by each camera will then be
processed by Google Jump special application. This application will combine all
the videos and then produce a virtual reality video with 3D stereoscopic. As an
illustration, you can see the video below.
