Copernic360

Overwiew

Copernic360 enables 6 degree-of-freedom (6DOF) motion in standard 360° VR content to allow users to move freely in scenes. It consists of two components: a Unity plugin; and a [Cloud API][apidoc].

Every piece of content is different, which is why the Copernic360 Unity plugin requires configuration files with metadata for your content in order to enable 6DOF support. Copernic360 provides a Cloud API to preprocess your content, providing a configuration file that is used by the Unity plugin at runtime.

Command-line tool

The copernic360 command-line wraps Kagenova's Copernic360 Cloud API. In short, it allows users to post 360 images and videos and get Copernic360 configuration files back.

Users first need an account with Kagenova's Copernic360. After installing the tool via pip, users can interact with the Copernic360 API as follows:

# get help
copernic360 --help
# check user login
copernic350 check-login
# check user's credits
copernic350 check-credit
# upload image.jpg and get its configution back (config.6dof)
copernic360 process-content image.jpg config.6dof
# list currently uploaded contents
copernic360 contents

See the command-line help for futher functionality and parameters.

Note that passwords and usernames can be either given on the command-line or in the environment variables:

• COPERNIC360_USER
