Kadinche has developed prototype 360 live streaming player application for Microsoft Hololens. As the first public streaming experiment, Ricoh will live-stream 360 video from Mobile World Congress 2017 using their Ricoh R Development Kit. Anybody who owns Hololens can experience this 360 experiment . Here is how you can install it.

The press release from Ricoh can be seen here.

Kadinche Company Ltd. is a head-mounted display (HMD) of Taisei Corporation’s, is a real-life video system “T-iROBO Remote” which can steer a heavy machine while feeling as if it is actually in a remote place. For its development we have cooperated with INNYYA Co., Ltd. regarding “Viewer”.

In this system, a stereo fisheye camera is installed on the heavy equipment side and the video is displayed simultaneously to the HMD of a pilot located in a remote place so that operation of heavy machinery can be performed and felt while checking the depth and distance. By making the lens used for the stereo fisheye camera wide-angle, it helps when the pedestrian moves the direction of the HMD the image also becomes in the direction in which it wants to see it and you can check the work place in a wider area than the normal lens. In this system, a stereo fisheye camera is installed on the heavy equipment side and the image is transmitted in real time to the HMD of a pilot located in a remote place so that operation of heavy machinery can be performed and felt simultaneously while checking the depth and distance. By making the lens used for the stereo fisheye camera wide-angle, it helps when the pedestrian moves the direction of the HMD the image also becomes the direction in which it wants to see it and you can check the work place in a wider area than the normal lens.

Although this system was developed assuming a disaster response and restoration work under high radiation situation, we have been using not only in these applications but also for panorama video, head mounted display, communication technology etc. We are planning to utilize the virtual reality technology at construction site and factory.

On 1st December 2014, we celebrated the 2nd anniversary of PanoPlaza Movie which is the world’s fastest publishing platform for 360 degree video distribution and sharing.

In the past two years we have used the web platform based on PanoPlaza Movie as OEM or only 360 degree movie player for smartphone so that many customers can use our products. To celebrate second anniversary, we will update the following updates.

1, Renewal of Design

To make it easy to imagine and use in multiple industries, we made it a neutral taste and updated the design to enhance the listing of the videos posted, similarly, make links to necessary know-how easier to understand. We also made links to the 360-degree video streaming distribution which will be increasing in the coming year and easier to understand.

2, Speeding up of the encoder: Parallel processing

PanoPlaza Movie encodes the uploaded video uniformly on the server side so that not only the web browser but also the viewing experience with the smartphone application will be comfortable. However till now, the processing speed of the encoder has been slow, so it took time until the movie uploaded by user become ready for viewing. Therefore, by parallelizing the encoders, speedup has been realized by dividing and parallel processing of the uploaded videos on the server side.

3, Distribution of 360 Video live streaming, set ordered and sale started

In order to realize 360 ° movie live streaming, it is necessary to align distribution system such as panoramic camera, capture board, personal computer, cable, distribution software, so far. However, none have been provided as a set. Therefore, in response to customer inquiries, we decided to offer 360 video live streaming distribution set by choosing and assembling the optimum hardware / software on an order basis.
