Wow! Friends, this photo, which incidentally shows an abandoned hospital in Germany, is not real! But somehow. Because the space that you see really exists. It was photographed hundreds of times using a process called photometry, so that any depths, proportions and distances can be precisely recalculated using wavelength differences. With this data, such realistic environments as in the following VR demo can be created. Very impressive! Because this is really the very first time that I can no longer make a difference to reality. If you go on spinning that, from now on you can theoretically visit any place without visiting it.
The technique that Realities.io is using to capture environments is far from new, but their implementation of it is incredibly refined. In concept, photogrammetry actually dates back as far as the 1400's when Leonardo di Vinci worked out the process of perspective and projective geometry. The process works by compiling a number of different images taken at various angles, and calculating measurements in the geometry based on differences between them. In order to capture these scenes, the team took a series of images of the space in a way to maximize parallax inbetween pictures and then uses those images to calculate the distance between points and create depth. For more complex shapes and details, like chairs and the TV, the team takes shots from multiple angles around its depth.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
