Multiple choice

What is the term used to describe the process of combining multiple camera angles into a single seamless video in virtual reality?

  1. Stitching

  2. Blending

  3. Compositing

  4. Keying
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Stitching is the process of combining multiple camera angles into a single seamless video in virtual reality. It involves aligning and blending the footage from different cameras to create a cohesive and immersive experience for the viewer.

Multiple choice

Which editing technique is used to create a smooth transition between different viewpoints in a virtual reality video?

  1. Jump cut

  2. Cross dissolve

  3. Cut to black

  4. Wipe transition
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cut to black is a commonly used editing technique to create a smooth transition between different viewpoints in a virtual reality video. It involves fading out the current scene to black and then fading in the next scene, providing a brief moment of visual separation between the two viewpoints.

Multiple choice

What is the term used to describe the process of adding interactive elements to a virtual reality video?

  1. Annotation

  2. Hotspot

  3. Overlay

  4. Interactive video
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Hotspot is the term used to describe the process of adding interactive elements to a virtual reality video. Hotspots are clickable areas within the video that allow the viewer to interact with the content, such as triggering an action, displaying additional information, or teleporting to a different location within the virtual environment.
