The acquisition and presentation of high-resolution panoramic video presents a number of technical difficulties. We demonstrate a system that acquires high-resolution (>3Kx480) panoramic images. These images are recorded at 30Hz frame retes and played back for later viewing. During playback users wear a henad-mounted idsplay (HMD) and a head-tracking device that allows them to trun their heads freely to observe the desired portions of the panoramic scene. User impressions initaially indicate that the experience produces a strong sense of immersion and this new form of media offers new options for creating immersive simulations.
