360 film taken whilst delivering a Trader 54

[Halcyon Yachts]

I'm just back from delivering a Trader 54 from Gran Canaria to Menorca. It was a great trip, fairly calm for the Atlantic section and running at just 1100 rpm we were able to comfortably cover the distance without needing fuel until Gib. Patches of thick fog off the Moroccan coast, lots of dolphins, turtles, a shark and a fin whale to keep us entertained... Terrible weather in the Med, storm bound in Almeria for 5 days - the sun was shinning in Menorca though and it is always a delight to cruise up towards Mahon.

Here is short film made with a 360 Camera. You can either move your phone/tablet around to view in different directions or grab the screen with your mouse and look around.

I will also be editing a more traditional film over the next week or so, but I'm still finding the 360 technology pretty interesting.

Works perfectly in Chrome and looks awesome.. Amazing to be able to pan around and look at the things that interest you.. Nicely done!

I got a note saying that current browser (Safari) wasn't supported, worked fine on Chrome.

You might laugh but I've just got the VR headset for the PlayStation and these 360 videos look astonishing...even if I look a bit of a pratt wearing it!

I think the issue there is the Apple influence.

Works fine under chrome on a desktop.
In fact it is VERY impressive.

BTW - also works on my Android tablet.

This is the problem with iPads and iPhones - great until you get something out of the ordinary.
Then you are screwed.

THAT should be impressive!
