TV in VR Changho Choi, Peter Langner, Praveen Reddy, Satender Saroha, Sunil Srinivasan, Naveen Suryavamsh
TV in VR Changho Choi, Peter Langner, Praveen Reddy, Satender Saroha, Sunil Srinivasan, Naveen Suryavamsh Introduction The evolution of storytelling has gone through various phases. Earliest known methods were through plain text. Plays and theatres were used to bring some of these stories to life but for the most part, artists relied on their audience to imagine the fictional worlds they were describing. Illustrations were a nice addition to help visualize an artist's perception. With the advent of cinema in the early 1900’s starting with silent films to the current summer blockbusters with their CGI, 3D and surround sound – viewers are transported into these imaginary worlds – to experience these worlds just as the creators of this content envisioned it. Virtual reality, with its ability to provide an immersive medium with a sense of presence and depth is the next frontier of storytelling. Seminal events in history Moon landing in 1969 When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took the first steps on the moon it captured the imagination of the world. The culmination of a grand vision and the accompanying technological breakthroughs brought about an event that transfixed generations to come. As it happened in the 1969, the enabling technology for experiencing this event was the trusted radio or through grainy broadcasts of television anchors describing the events as they were described to them! Super Bowl 49 As the Seattle Seahawks stood a yard away from winning the Super Bowl in 2015, 115 million people watched on NBC in the United States alone. In front of their big screen TVs and every possible option explained to them by the commentators, the casual and the rabid football fan alike watched as the Seahawks lost due to a confluence of events. -

Virtual reality/360º Virtual reality/360º One early lesson I learned was the difference between 360 video and VR. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed to discover that, from a VR purist’s point of view, what I’d been shooting was not actually VR. It was merely 360 video. VR, you see, has Stitch lines are like fault lines in the Earth’s crust, liable to be as good as its name – virtual reality. And reality, as we all to erupt at a moment’s notice with a double image, or a know, is 3D.

The Nevertheless, whether it’s VR or 360 video, the stitching annoying thing is that the control points which work for one process is the same and there are some universal truths frame may not work for the next.

Background: Early pathological changes in white matter microstructure can be studied using the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). It is not only important to study these subtle pathological changes leading to cognitive decline, but also to ascertain how an intervention would impact the white matter microstructure and cognition in persons at-risk of dementia.
