Audio Visual Contents using Fish-eye Lens and Binaural Microphones And Their Projection to a Geodesic Dome Type Screen

Abstract

Audio visual contents using large sphere displays, such as “Wonder Moment” or “Space Ball”, are attaractive but they are expensive and difficult to be made by individuals. Thus, a one-meter hemisphere geodesic dome screen was made using bold papers, and audio visual contents were projected to it using a single video projector. The contents were made using a smartphone video camera with a fish eye lens and binaural microphones put on both ears. Realistic contents with feeling of presense in scenes could be made.
