My brain is still trying to process what this did.

I wonder if a fight breaks out, they have cameras there and blow up the pugilists to 10 feet tall...

@jazzilla wow! That’s awesome! Do they change camera angles, or is it a constant shot?

@zephyrotv

I have no idea. I've only just seen this technique just now for the first time.

@jazzilla that’s the same set up (or at least it looks like the same set up) as the Soarin’ attraction at EPCOT

@zephyrotv @jazzilla Looks like a wide angle shot at 60 fps vertical on a gimbal mount or something and the camera guy looks to have moved a bit. The smoothness is very nice though, and it's probably a high end phone or small prosumer cam at least

@BowsacNoodle @zephyrotv

There are many views happening at once that are all interleaved seamlessly

@jazzilla @zephyrotv Do you think multiple cameras and it brings their FOV near each other then hands off? It doesn't seem unreasonable for this to be a single camera with a guy watching and moving a bit with a gyro mount

@BowsacNoodle

I don't know how it works physically. I just know you're watching several feeds of reality and augmented reality mixed together in a master feed.

@zephyrotv

@jazzilla is this an IMAX theater?

@AdamAtSea

It's some kind of immersive sports tech company called COSM. I think you can buy immersive viewing experiences like this for about the price of front row seats.
