Visorama-Lumière
Visorama‐Lumière is a work in which we use Visorama to visualize and interact with the 360-degree panoramic photographs created by the Lumière Brothers for Photorama a century ago. The collection of Lumière panoramic views is made up of 307 titles out of a total of 608 presented in the Lumière Society catalog in 1904. These are large photographs (87X628mm), taken with the Périphote device to be presented in the Photorama ‐ system. 360-degree view projection, presented for the first time at the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris. The Photoram consists of a system allowing the projection of panoramic photos on a roundabout 20 meters in diameter by 10 meters in height. What is curious is that, between 1900 and 1906, the Lumière brothers invested more effort in the commercialization of the Photorama than in the Cinematograph. This demonstrates that the Lumière brothers were sensitive not only to technological innovation, but also to the creation of new projection devices.
The objective of the work Visorama‐Lumière is to ensure that Lumières panoramic views can be viewed as if they were virtual environments to be explored. The Visorama program contains two innovations that contribute to making the viewing process more immersive and interactive. On the one hand, it has an authoring system that allows you to specify transitions between the images shown. On the other hand, it has a multi-resolution algorithm that ensures that the image always maintains the same definition level throughout the zoom movement and avoids the image pixelation process.
The work was presented at MEP (Maison Europèenne de la Photographie – Paris in 2005 at the Brasil Digital Exhibition.
