360 on hosted web page

Good afternoon,

I have a 6 camera gopro rig being captured and streaming to the Wowza cloud via Vahana VR. The player on hosted web page shows the 6 camera horizontal output. Can the player render and give us interactive 360 mode so we can spin it in true 360?

Thanks,

Mike

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

According to this forum thread, Wowza can distribute a 360 degree stream, but the affect is a combination of capture, post production steps (stitching) and a customized player.

I have not heard anything newer then this at this time. I may be wrong and someone from support may have other information to share.

Another option might be to post a request to the find a consultant forum and see what options turn up.

Best,

Salvadore

Mike,

I believe you submitted a support request for this question. As I mentioned, you would need a player that can stitch the stream back into the 360 format for pan/tilt viewer experience. Our current player does not have this capability. However, we are able to pass the stream onto a 360 player successfully.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

We have a Tech Alliance Partnership with VideoStitch.

If you click on their name above, you can see the process from capture to stitching to playback using their VideoStitch player.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

unfortunately we do not offer a VR ready player yet.

There are many offerings out there. One very affordable is http://videostream360.com/en/

They are offering a player only solution that works well with our HLS Playback URLs.

Thanks Philipp

Hello, will like to know what existing 360 Video player will be good at supporting the stream from Wowza Streaming Cloud well besides Youtube 360?
