A dining table with chairs is placed in the middle of a white room. The table is set for five and on each plate lies a pair of Oculus Rift headsets and headphones.

You sit down, put on the glasses and headphones, and instantly you are at a family dinner. Mum and dad have made roast beef. Older brother has brought his new girlfriend home for the first time. And little brother is trying to avoid the inevitable disaster.

Shooting Skammekrogen - Oculus Rift + Go Pro & Unity 3D

10 years ago

A rough 3 minutes edit from the shooting of “Skammekrogen” a shortfilm for the Oculus Rift. The story of a "cosy" family dinner. Seen from the POV og mom, dad, little brother, big brother and his new girlfriend. Skammekrogen is filmed from 5 personal point of views with wide angle lenses, allowing for a 180 panorama in the Oculus Rift. It will premiere at the Nikolaj Kunsthal, Copenhagen Contemporary Art Centre, as an installation with the family dinner table and 5 Oculus Rift virtual reality goggles. The film-installation is funded by The Danish Film Institute & Bikuben Fonden. And created by Johan Knattrup, Mads Damsbo & Dark Matters + a very talented crew. http://www.makropol.dk http://www.hanhan.dk http://www.darkmatters.dk Credits: Johan Knattrup Jensen, Filminstruktør Mads Damsbo, Medieinstruktør og producer, Makropol Rune Brink Hansen, Oplevelses design, Dark Matters Lasse Andersen, Oplevelses design, Dark Matters Louise Rathje,Scenograf Rie Hougaard Landgren, Scenograf assistent Anders Wøldike, Line producer Tim Garbos og Jesper Taxbøl, Programmør, Kanako Bo Asdal Andersen, Tonemester Morten Mygind, 3d Lyd Allan Lukow - Allan O Lükow, Stereorig Ayoe Nissen, Kostume, Sminke Camilla Nordbjerg Olsen, Kostume, Sminke Andree Knutsson, VFX Noah Lynnerup, Lysmester Sarah Wessman, Produktions assistent Talib Rasmussen, Fotograf konsulent Kasper Bundvad, DIT Daniel Borgman, Instruktør assistent Michael Holm, Stereokonsulent Cast: Sofie Stougaard, Mor / Karen Benjamin Engell, Jakob Sebastian Teschemacher, Julius Katrine Bruun, Maya Ole Boisen, Far / Palle Tak til: Lisbeth Malmberg Redrental Naja Lund Schmidt Peter og Bettina Damsbo Ida Kjær Sejrsen & Jonathan Jungløv, Dark Matters Linea Holmqvist Filmgear

We are planning to shoot 180 with 2 Epic Red Camera's to create stereoscopic 3D and 180 lookaround with the Rift... First prototype made with GoPano Micro (http://www.gopano.com/products/gopano-micro#page=technology)

The Unity 3D SDK and the Oculus Rift 3D glasses Most important scarefactor is to actually sit around the same table being filmed, swapping the characters around after the Oculus wearer takes of his/her glasses - like a just 20 minutes ago timemachine!!!!
