‘Project Dali’ Looks Like Adobe’s Answer To ‘Tilt Brush’ And ‘Quill’

An Adobe Research project was revealed via YouTube video, above, showing what looks like an answer to Google’s Tilt Brush and Facebook’s Quill virtual reality art programs.

A blog post by Erik Natzke, principal artist-in-resident at Adobe Research, explained some of the thinking behind the project, which is described as being in its “early stages.” From the post:

Project Dali is an immersive drawing experience in the virtual world. Artists use custom brushes to create, and move around their creations, in three dimensions—they can literally walk through their own paintings. The experience is so surreal that we couldn’t resist calling it Project Dali.

More to come.

Edit VR Video Without Removing Your Headset With Adobe’s CloverVR

Adobe is a software mainstay that serves as the foundation of a lot of creative and business ventures and developments, so it’s no surprise they’ve been quickly getting their foot in the door when it comes to virtual reality. We previously reported on the introduction of VR features to Creative Cloud in April and the efforts to improve the workflow in September. Now, we have a new addition to Adobe’s VR initiative: CloverVR. Diorama reported on the new feature along with a couple others that were demoed at the annual Adobe MAX event.

Held in Europe, North America, and Japan, Adobe MAX is an event focused on new and upcoming projects that will influence the computer design and development industries. During the keynote focused on Creative Cloud, co-hosted by comedian and filmmaker Jordan Peele, we were introduced to a new way to edit with CloverVR. As is, editing virtual video can be a bit cumbersome with newcomers and professionals alike. You can edit in 2D and throw on your headset to occasionally check progress and see if your desired effect works out, but going back and forth limits productivity significantly. CloverVR is a means to alleviate this, allowing you to edit your work with your headset on. It also introduces a scene rotation tool so filmmakers can make sure that the focal point of the action in a new scene is where you need to be when cutting to another shot.

The next few years of MAX will likely see more and more VR and AR as the industries grow, maybe even leading a keynote segment devoted entirely to those businesses. Until then, you can watch the event’s keynotes from this year, from creative cloud to photography, here.

360 Grad Videos in VR bearbeiten – Adobe präsentiert CloverVR

Adobe hat nun eine Möglichkeit auf dem „MAX“ Event in der letzten Woche vorgestellt, wie ihr in der Zukunft 360 Grad Videos mit Premier bearbeiten könnt. Mit Premier hat Adobe wohl eines der bekanntest Tools für die Videobearbeitung im Programm und daher ist es auch nötig, dass das Unternehmen sich noch stärker auf die Bearbeitung von Video konzentriert, die sich die Nutzer in VR anschauen sollen, denn diese Videos erfreuen sich großer Beliebtheit. Bereits im Juni 2016 hatte das Unternehmen Premier für die Bearbeitung von 360 Grad Videos vorbereitet. Nun geht Adobe aber einen wichtigen Schritt weiter.

Adobe präsentiert Project CloverVR

Aktuell gibt es viele Hürden bei der Erstellung von gutem 360 Grad Content. Ein großes Problem ist, dass man bisher das Video auf einem herkömmlichen Monitor bearbeiten musste und somit nicht direkt sehen konnte, wie das Ergebnis in einem VR Headset aussehen wird. Adobe möchte mit CloverVR das Problem jetzt angehen und hat auf der MAX Konferenz in Las Vegas eine Lösung mit der Oculus Rift und den Oculus Touch Controllern gezeigt.

Adobe hat mit CloverVR vorgeführt, wie man die Ausrichtung der Szenen in VR bestimmen kann. Dies kann eine nützliche Bereicherung sein, denn so kann man direkt prüfen, welche Ausrichtung in VR Sinn ergibt und welche Ausrichtung nicht. Das Tool ermöglicht den direkten Wechsel zwischen zwei Szenen und somit könnt ihr sofort sehen, ob die Ausrichtung in der folgenden Szene passt.

Im Moment befindet sich CloverVR aber noch in einer frühen Phase und die Möglichkeiten sind begrenzt. Adobe gibt auch noch kein Infos darüber, wann CloverVR in Premier integriert wird. Wir hoffen, dass Adobe CloverVR noch weiter aufbohrt und uns noch mehr Werkzeuge an die Hand gibt, um die 360 Grad Videos direkt in VR zu bearbeiten.

Auch wenn Adobe CloverVR mit der Oculus Rift vorgeführt hatte, so sollte es kein größeres Problem sein, dieses Tool auch für Nutzer der HTC Vive zugänglich zu machen.

Adobe Shows Love For VR With New Updates To Creative Cloud’s Workflow

Adobe to Showcase VR Advancements for Creative Cloud at IBC 2016

The annual IBC conference takes place this week and Adobe has announced it’ll be showcasing its latest advancements for its Creative Cloud and Marketing Cloud. Alongside improvements for 3D, motion graphics and character animation Adobe will be expanding its virtual reality (VR) feature list.

Adobe will be unveiling additional information for its next release of Premiere Pro CC, this includes auto-aware VR that detects and applies the correct setting to stereoscopic and monoscopic media. While Adobe Primetime will allow media companies to unlock the potential of VR by building sustainable businesses and delivering premium viewing experiences through video playback support, dynamic ad insertion and content protection via Adobe’s Virtual Reality Digital Rights Management (VRDRM).

“Adobe is helping video creators of all kinds – from broadcasters and big movie studios to YouTubers and brands – create their best work,” said Bill Roberts, senior director of product management at Adobe. “As these stories take shape, ideas need to seamlessly move between tools, technologies and teams. Adobe’s multiscreen solution helps media companies connect with their audiences in a personalized way by delivering compelling experiences and adopting immersive capabilities such as 3D, VR and AR.”

The company has also been working with Goldsmiths, University of London regarding VR user interaction and technology. Adobe held a conference in July in which Dr Chris Brauer, Director of Innovation at Goldsmiths University London said: “Augmented reality, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, wearable technology – in many ways these technologies offer a pathway to these more meaningful experiences, and this was really interesting for us to encounter.”

The IBC 2016 conference is due to feature other VR and 360-degree tech, with SES S.A. and Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) demonstrating the transmitting of immersive content via satellite.

As further VR news from IBC 2016 is announced, VRFocus will report back accordingly.
