Abstract

Providing high immersive feeling to audiences has proceeded with growing up of techniques about video and acoustic medias. In our proposal, we record and reproduce omnidirectional movies captured at a perspective of an actor and three dimensional sound field around him, and try to reproduce more impressive feeling. We propose a sequence of techniques to archive it, including a recording equipment, video and acoustic processing, and a presentation system. Effectiveness and demand of our system has been demonstrated by ordinary people through evaluation experiments.
