Kandao Technology-the company behind the Obsidian R, S and Go cameras-has just released a new beta version of Kandao Studio that will allow users to generate and export depth maps from their 360 video to eventually support 6 degrees of freedom down the road.

As of this morning, the update is available on Kandao’s website and can be used to apply 3D VFX compositing and depth-based visual effects for stereoscopicVideo shot with two parallel cameras (or in the case of 360° video, multiple pairs of parallel cameras) Commonly referr… More 360 video.

Already, Kandao Studio utilizes optical flow and a deep-learning based stitching algorithm for its stereoscopicVideo shot with two parallel cameras (or in the case of 360° video, multiple pairs of parallel cameras) Commonly referr… More stitching, but the depth-based rendering stitching mode will estimate the depth of captured frames for more consistent stereoscopicVideo shot with two parallel cameras (or in the case of 360° video, multiple pairs of parallel cameras) Commonly referr… More parallaxThe optical effect where an object’s position appears to differ when viewed from different positions, i.e. the left ey… More that Kandao claims will look more natural to the human eye.

With the added ability to export the depth maps, Kandao opens up the ability for depth-based maskingBlocking a portion of the image. and VFX in other programs, and even 6 DoF either in other programs or perhaps, one day, within Kandao Studio.
