South Africa in 360
Filmed entirely on location in South Africa, the video was shot using a series of cameras In 3D printed mounts to create a full 360-degree effect. Along with our friends at SomethinElse we also pioneered the use of binaural sound (360 degree sound) to accompany the video, creating a truly immersive effect.
The Oculus Rift footage showcases 6 scenes in South Africa, including abseiling down Table Mountain in Cape Town; kite-surfing; feeding the elephants in a sanctuary; strolling through Neighbourgoods Market in Johannesburg; and shark-cage diving, where the footage was shot underwater using a specially 3D printed underwater camera rig that had to be tested in the warmer climbs of the London Scuba School!
“As far as we know, this is the first time a tourism board based in the UK has used Oculus Rift to showcase their destination in such a varied and immersive way, using this state-of-the-art technology to create an interactive and immersive experience,” said SAT UK Country Manager, Tolene van der Merwe. The launch at WIRED 2014 comes ahead of a national consumer campaign due to be rolled out in early 2015.

The claim is this may help to better magnae stress, find your higher self and rediscover physical potency. What is this very simple technique to modify one's life, a methodology that may be taught in a pair of mins, and can fit on one sheet of paper? It is rhythmical vibratory shaking of the head, or the entire body ( the book goes into detail ). The brain stem is the healing middle of the brain. This could also quiet the continual noise of the prefrontal cortex, which is the thinking part of the brain, letting the brain stem do its thing.
