    How odd for me that you should ask this now.

    in these colder dark evenings I've been getting the bus home more often, and one thing I love is staring out of the window, parallel to the buildings and looking straight at them, revelling in the slightly weird 'computer game perspective' that arises as things like businesses slide past with depth forshortenning (not sure if correct term). The effect is paricularly acute around here, with businesses based in long but not very wide premises that promote the visual effect.

    I've been wondering how to replicate it somehow. MonNom's suggestion of using the panorama mode might work, if I just plant the phone on the window and record that way.

    .

    I kind of get lost in it when I do it, and I wonder whether fellow commuters sideye me and wonder if I'm autistic or something. Or, worse. Just staring at myself for the entire journey..

    • That sounds cool as fuck. Panorama might work but could lose tracking if moving too fast. Record video at high frame rate. 120fps. Then you can process offlinemonNom
    • Raspberry pi camera will allow extremely high framerates from a cropped sensor readout like a line scan/slitscan.monNom
    • If you want to get crazy, you can source machine vision linescan cameras surplus on eBay. Current gen are 16k pixels in a single column, so 12k easy to find.monNom
    • But that’s going to be a very challenging technical project to get working, I would think.monNom
    • That is exactly the same feeling I got from multiple random places. I think there is no shortcut for now, but to digitally merge the photosSalarrue
    • I found this software interesting https://hugin.source… you can control the mergind pointsSalarrue
    • Good find. This tutorial seems like exactly what you were after: https://panospace.wo…monNom
