Follow me on a workday as a train driver in Sweden and Denmark, captured in 360 degrees with a Ricoh Theta S.
You get to experience how it feels to stand on the platform, on the floor, in an escalator – and, finally, to sit in the cabin while leaving Copenhagen main station.
About the video quality: The Theta S is capable of capturing video in 1080p. That usually ensures high quality in normal videos. But when capturing in 360 degrees, the resolution should be higher in order to maintain the quality. I don't even know if 4K would be enough... And, to make things worse, YouTube (for some peculiar reason) zooms into the picture and doesn't allow the user to zoom out. That makes the video quality suffer even more.
See this as part of an ongoing experiment, where I try to make the best of the device. I plan to make more of these movies in the future.
