sphere, and it's also easy for an OpenGL
player on a phone or a headset to
decode and present that image to the
final viewer. But it's also an unfortunate
format because so much data is dedicated to the top and bottom of the
frame, which are effectively squished
into a single point. The center of the

64

frame, which is typically what you care
about the most, contains the least
concentrated data. You wish there was a
way to dedicate more of the pixels in the
sphere to the primary subject of what
you're photographing.
"As an alternative to spherical
mapping," Healer continues, "the VR

team at Facebook has proposed cube
mapping. This idea has a lot of merit in
terms of dedicating pixels to the most
important parts of the image, and
simplifies parts of the process. I hope
that this gains traction. Spherical
mapping in 2D space is an age-old
problem, harking back to Mercator and
contemplated by Buckminster Fuller, as
well as many others."
In order to accurately evaluate
color when looking at 360-degree
images stitched together from multiple
taking lenses, Healer explains, "We use
HP LP2475w 24-inch IPS LCD
monitors as well as Zalman 2D/3D
passive Trimon monitors, which [can
accept] a direct output from Nuke."
With the GoPro images, he adds,
"We'll start with GoPro's Protune and
ultimately render out in sRGB color
space to match the cell-phone screens
and built-in monitor screens most
current VR headsets use." For final color
grading, The Molecule delivered
