360 VR Hyperlapse launch to space - The world’s first hyperlapse spaceflight in 360°

Показать описание

We launched a 360 VR camera into space and stabilised and hyperlapsed the result! Ride along on this launch into space in full 360 degree video.

A 360 VR video hyperlapse of a journey into space, this video is a world first. We sent an extensively modified GoPro Fusion 360° camera into space over Great Britain to film a journey into space in 360 degrees. We manually stabilised the footage to lock the horizon in place, creating a 360° hyperlapse that can be viewed in VR. A hyperlapse is a 360 timelapse where the camera position is periodically moved to create a dynamic view of the passage of time. 360 timelapses and 360 hyperlapses are rare, and this is the first 360 VR spaceflight hyperlapse ever created, a unique feat only possible with our unmatched flight setup. For best results, view using Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or similar VR headset technology for the ultimate immersive spaceflight experience. It’s a completely novel visual treat that allows you to truly feel what it’s like to take a virtual space walk above our planet.

Sent Into Space are the Near Space experts. We use lighter-than-air gas balloons to travel to the upper stratosphere into Near Space, where you can see the curvature of the Earth (Flat Earth believers need not reply!), the black vacuum of space and the thin blue line of the Earth's atmosphere on the horizon. This is more than just a GoPro on a weather balloon. We build a bespoke launch vehicle for each flight utilising the latest in camera technology and long-range radio and satellite communications. We film HD video of the Earth from space for stunning images of the curvature of the Earth.

With over 1000 successful flights over the last 10 years, we're the only company to go to when you want to launch something into space.
