Immersive multilateral diplomacy project “In the eye of the storm” by INT-FTI co-funded by swissuniversities pushes boundaries of augmented reality. Ramping up now... Université de Genève UNIGE_en

To everyone here INT-FTI and FTI_UNIGE as well as the #int & #xl8 community out there: Happy New Year!

Day spent testing brand new #360 camera INT-FTI for immersive project with International Labour Organization.

No such thing as plug-and-play when working with emerging tech: after a full week of testing, today complete software failure on our #insta360 ... back to square one only three days before filming is supposed to start.

And we’re back in the game: firmware update and learning to be ... patient. Hardware performing well, software stable: ready for first shoot tomorrow. Immersive video, here we come!

After recording day 1 (of 3): a couple of Terabytes here, a coupke of Terabytes there... the challenges of working with immersive 360 8K on the go.

Eureka... after 3 days of frustrating tech probs, the #Insta360 Pro2 is now stitching.... And for that it’ll have to work thru the weekend to make up for lost time (along with a few ppl on our team).
