How to transform space simulations into immersive 360-degree video experiences
In short: This video explores the technical process of capturing footage from Space Engine and Eve Online to create spherical projections, revealing the complex software requirements needed to turn standard frames into immersive 360-degree environments.
To create 360-degree videos from space simulations like Space Engine or Eve Online, frames must be transformed into an Equirectangular Spherical projection. This process can be achieved using commercial software or custom-written scripts, though the latter can be extremely slow. The demand for this type of content even influenced software development, as the developer of Space Engine eventually added a dedicated rendering option to simplify the process for others.
