After unveiling the world’s best camera in a leading smartphone*, the world’s first 4K smartphone** – we asked ourselves – “what comes next?”…
As part of our recent photography trip to Rise Ski & Snowboard Festival in Les Deux Alpes, France, we created a 360 degree video shot entirely on 12x Xperia Z5 Compact devices, each filming simultaneously in 4K (by our count, that’s a total of 48Ks).
The short film is the result of an ambitious, creative R&D experiment, where each Xperia Z5 Compact device was mounted on a custom 3D printed rig. We set about capturing scenes from the slopes, including freestylers performing jaw dropping tricks in the park, high-speed racers on a giant slalom course and the stunning panorama looking out across some of the Alp’s best known peaks. The footage from each phone was painstakingly edited together to create our first 360 degree video, showcasing the unique capabilities of Xperia Z5’s camera technology.
It’s fully interactive, so feel free to explore the environment using the on-screen navigation keys. For a truly immersive experience, try watching on your Xperia Z5 series device or using Google Cardboard and the YouTube Android app.
