EchoVideo

When a user uploads a video that contains no spatial metadata to a 360º video upload, request confirmation of intent from the user - to determine if the media has been uploaded incorrectly to a 360º video process, or deliberately. This would involve additional media validation on upload. https://github.com/google/spatial-media/blob/master/docs/spherical-video-v2-rfc.md

Please allow the option to Play/Pause the video when you press the Play/Pause button on your keyboard. When I press the button, it does not play/pause the video. I have to manually click the video to pause it with my mouse. This makes it difficult to quickly stop the video and take notes while watching. Thank you.

Any plans to release a 360 degree feature that would support ‘tours’? We use a tool that allows us to mark-up 360 degree photos so that we can give students the ability to ‘tour’ the campus virtually, find out what’s in different rooms (and individual cupboards).

Can the analytics be provided in the order of dates of presentation of the Echo Videos in the LMS?

It is possible to ingest 360° video via external media ingest but there is no support currently for 360° video capture with Echo360 appliances or Universal Capture. A need for this has arisen at an Echo360 institution. They are already capturing 360° video but this must be manually uploaded and published. Some scenarios where 360° video is used: Open days, conferences, active learning forums, round table discussions, virtual performances, virtual labs, marketing, alumni interviews, virtual courtroom The specific camera being used is a Ricoh Theta Z1 via the Ricoh Theta UVC driver

The 360 video has keyboard control, but it's very clunky. I’d love to see an optional control icon that allowed the user to use the keyboard more intuitively. Esc – exit keyboard control. Arrow keys – to move around the video view perspective. Home/Space/Enter – to center the view back home.

EchoVideo does not currently support the GoPro native .360 video format. This is the format that 360 degree GoPro cameras save natively to local storage. The .360 file extension is rejected by our file picker If the .360 file is renamed to .mp4 the file picker accepts the file. The media processor is then able to process the file but the resulting output is rotated 90 degrees, as in this demonstration: https://echo360.org.uk/public/media/c57bee9a-429f-439a-85ac-0caeab0fc596 Here is the source media for the example above: https://echo360.box.com/s/3wszjtpausw8w6dxupy17sjzq58yvc50 The customer found no settings on the GoPro to save media natively as .mp4. Their workaround is to export the media as .mp4 from GoPro proprietary software. When this is done, the .mp4 is NOT rotated 90 degrees, in other words, the media is processed in the expected way

I'd like to be able to add a 360 video to a capture I've already done. ie: Recorded a Zoom meeting or a upload a UC capture, then later add a 360 video to the second video track.

I watched a beta 360 degree video that my coworker linked to me, and the ability to pan around the video is very cool! I really appreciate that the audio follows as well as you move around. I think it would be very helpful to also be able to zoom in inside of the 360 degree field, I understand that resolution could be a limiting factor, though.
