skateboarding VR test



this is only a quick test run of what I'm hoping to do for my final studio piece. Ideally I could use 4 television monitors arranged with one directly in front of the viewer, one near the viewers feet, and one on either side of the viewer in their peripheral vision. I'd like to film a variety of skateboarding styles (4 times over) to give the audience a different experience. The VR of riding a skateboard through a skatepark, for example, with all the people getting in the way etc. is very different than what one would experience skating downhill, or perhaps skating downtown at night...the hardest thing to achieve in this is mentally noting what path I have first taken on my skateboard so that the remaining 3 camera angles can sync up.
