How to use the theta V with Google Maps to create pictures by shooting video.

I'm trying to show a tutorial here so you can get started with the

theta V and shoot video then post it through the Google Street Maps it will

then convert it it'll map it create Street Street View views just like the

Google car does what it's portable and personal. Google now has got a number of

innovations coming out that are VR related and it looks like they're

they're going to be offering a whole different thing to Google Maps and it

looks like they're trying to make it a much more interactive process. I'm going

to share here what I've what I've learned and by go through the

process step by step make it a little bit easier for the user whoever's looking at this. If you

want to get shooting quickly avoid some of the pitfalls for you. Some of the

applications that I think this will work well for, is for companies that don't

have a good road sight curb appearance, now you can go back within the building

you can map it for them you can video it it'll be online visitors could now see

the location. I know one case of a lumberyard that's very narrow in the

front people don't realize how deep it is out in the back you can also map

cemeteries, walks, bike trails, ski trails maybe even kayaking along the shoreline.

Give viewers a different experience of what that location is like that's where

I think Google is headed and this is a personalized way that you can contribute

to Maps we'll show you some of the pitfalls and by the end of this

hopefully you'd be able to pick up the camera and go pretty well with the camera. Basically

what we're talking about is the theta V the new one it's different it shoots 4k

currently it's the only one available for the Google Maps application. The

current qualification that you have to have to be able to post

on Street map on Google Maps is you have to be level six contributor or a Street

View Trusted photographer you need the theta V and then you also need an Android device

with the Street View app on it you need to download the theta app. One of the

first places of confusion I found is

they call it a theta s app it's a theta app it covers all of them they've

renamed another app that I'm not familiar with but the theta s app is the

one you want to use for it. Before we get into the details of the exact settings I

want to give you a warning that the file size can be an issue when you have to

transfer the file theta V to the phone it's a wireless connection it is the only way

it could be done. Sometimes you lose the connection so the smaller the file the

better. Time wise what I recommend is set your timing for about three minutes stop

then go then go again recording the mapping will follow it through and you are not losing

anything but the file handling iwill be easier dealing with the phone is a little bit

easier as far as space if you miss something you can delete it or change it

as it comes off the theta V to the phone so in the settings you want to check the

notifications for recent information to up date the software that's your first

step. Then in the connections you want to connect both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This

gives you a little more capacity and control over the different functions

Bluetooth control some you get others with the other one. Right now I've been

shooting 2.5 megahertz frequency for the wireless connection. Switching to the

camera settings okay on sleep bump I have sleep mode off camera volume high

so you can hear it when it starts to record or when it stops and under transfer

method I have copy. That is when it's bringing stuff to the phone I still have it then

once I'm done or happy with what I've gotten I take

the information off delete the stuff from the theta V. Obviously record

position of the phone to the photo has to be turned on that's getting the GPS coordinates from

the phone to the theta V embeded into the video. I have video mode on. the Codec can't be changed

again I mentioned that I keep it under five minutes to three. I have done a 25

minute video and I have been able to move it to the phone it just takes so

long and if you get errors you have to start over again from the beginning it's

a real pain in the neck. They do say that you can switch the settings during

shooting but I haven't. I start out from each three-minute interval I pick the

settings that I think are best and then I go from there. In the final setting

that's most important is obviously I select 4k settings on the camera because

that's what you want to shoot for because that's what is required for

Street. The View Street View cameras themselves they keep improving them

going to higher and higher resolution so they're getting clearer and obviously

they're going to push independent users to do the same. So now getting into how

most of my shooting is going to be walking or moving and what

my hands-free to be able to deal with not falling or tripping so the idea I came up with I basically

grabbed a ski helmet I had a GoPro - GoPro mounts on it I took the back one

so that it would be as close to vertical as possible used the basic GoPro

connectors and then I set the camera up on top so it's the the two connectors

combined together and then this piece is a standard thread for tripod for a

camera now I can mount the camera up on top. As I walk along or ride or any

activity my hands are free on a trail in case I stumble I can protect it, protect

myself so I'll give you a look of how it looks with the camera mounted. Just

because I don't want to scratch it anytime I'm moving around with the theta

and carry in a cover I use the one that came with it. Then the shoot

basically I've got it connected to the top of the camera

I'll put it mount it on. The other thing that I found is just as a tip the name

goes in the back and the buttons here go in the back so for orientation when I'm

shooting going forward is opposite of what I thought but that's no big deal.

You've got the helmet and basically put it on people think that

you look really silly but that's me going down the down a trail to record

something. Ok so basically to get ready for shooting you've got the Street View

app on the phone you got the theta V on, you have turned the wireless on right now I've

ran out of battery so the lights aren't going to be on but you connect this to

the Street View app then within Street View with the Street View app you go to

the privacy you go to the private and there's a feature there where you can

connect the phone connect the app to the phone then you start shooting with the

theta V and it puts a marker image on the phone it's not downloading

everything to the phone. That's a key point to remember it's where I got stuck.

So here's the key way that I differ in my shooting from what's described in the

link on the google contribute site i'll post out of the bottom of the video so

you can take a look at it. What I'm doing is I take and I connect the phone I'm in

the app and then I'm ready to shoot. I initiate and control the shooting from

the theta V app not from Street View the recommended way

does it as they say click on the camera and start recording when you go to

record click on the camera it opens that up and then you can see picture or video

you click on the video and when you hit start it will record a blue line and

your recording you can see where you are. The disadvantage to that is you don't

have any control over the settings on the theta V and I think you can make a

little bit better image and video if you take and tweak the settings some. What I

do is I go to the theta V app open that after I've got it connected to Street

View and from there you get a preview of what the scene will look like I'll

change the white balance. I will change the settings for sunshade it's a scroll bar and you

can pick what you want. You can also move up the ISO a little bit I think it's

called EV it's not ISO but it'll bring it up or dull down the image if it gets

later in the day and the sun's going down you may want a little more

brightness or like on a beach and a sunny day the theta can get blown out so

you can taper that off quite a bit so there's more control over the shooting

and a better shot. Then once I go to hit record I travel I keep the phone as

level as horizontal as possible and as level as possible not jiggling around

with a fast stride. I'm finding that walking I can do like 1.6 to 2 miles

depending on how hard I push for walking but that's the distance in a typical

walk That the battery lasts. I'm expecting to get about four times that on a bike and that's my next

experiment that I'm going to try, So basically if I'm walking along with the phone with me

it shows me how much time is recorded in the camera I'll target about three

minutes. If I don't have the phone free what I'll do is I'll set a three-minute

alarm stop the video then restart just so my

file is easier if I lose something I don't

have to go back and do such so much more to correct it. The other thing that's an

issue with the file size that keep comeing back around to this but is if one file down load fails you

have to start over it can take a long time.

It also takes about two hours for the theta to charge in that charging time

obviously you're not doing another recording so this is not a high

production thing you would have to have multiple cameras if you are going to try and go

out and do a lot and your data handling would be a you know a different issue. As

far as camera charging is concerned one of the things that I learned was that

you have to have a point 5 milli amp charging. A lot of the storage devices

like this from Amazon this one's going to put out too much and can mess up the

battery for the theta. They also are very particular to recommend the charging

cable for the theta that has the round piece on it that is a filter and

controls the the voltage it gets. So always use that cable or the other thing

that I've heard recommended they do recommend a iPhone charger has the right

milliamps to it. The other thing that surprised me in using the camera I

thought I could shoot manipulate videos then post it to street view this is not

correct or I haven't found a way around it yet I do suspect there may

be one place to change it but you have the workflow is really fairly locked

down. It goes like this you shoot the video it makes an image on the street

view app and it's a placeholder. Then when you're done shooting and you've got

a better Wi-Fi connection and internet connection I sit down I take

the there's a the image comes up with a download button when you hit that

download button it's actually transferring the 4k image from the theta

V to the phone in the Street View app. It's no longer a placeholder so now in

the Street View app the image the video the image for the video is bright and

clear it shows as you can publish it. It's on your phone in the panorama

folder on the Samsung it's not edge on the auxilary card that you may have with

your phone it's on the main memory of the phone it's no longer greyed out you

can publish it and once it's published you'll see some dots start to appear the

area you're doing you can watch it as more and more information appears then

at about 24 to 48 hours there'll be a blue line it'll look like a regular

Street View app. The thing that I'm noticing different is offset from where

you drew the line there's dots that show you the images you can click on each

image and see what's there. It does not map those round dots

directly over the path that's on the map it may be the path of the GPS

coordinates I'm not sure why that offset occurs but it's there. Okay now I'm going

to get into some of the tips and issues that I ran into. I used to use the theta

s and I would sometimes go into the phone itself take information off edit

it put it back the change with the theta V is the media is not right enabled. It's

only it's read-only so to do any editing there or take out that red dot that

appears that's not available to do anything with. If you put the image

somewhere else on the phone and then try to connect to Street View it won't

connect it just stays grayed out it won't acknowledge that video file. Even

if it's the identical one that was on the phone. The place you have to clean up

the storage is on the phone itself not the auxilary storage. If you have a

lot of music a lot of apps and its almost full they have a problem using any

number of files and shooting continuously and using a lot of files because it will

give you a warning when you try and download more than the camera can handle

it may force you to use just one small file at a time and do a lot of

sequential ones. The other thing is is get you I think anybody using this needs

to be pretty familiar with file explorer just so that you can get around

delete files move stuff and do what you want it's not just an automatic process

that's going to take care of all the file handling in my opinion. On my phone

the Samsung Galaxy seven the file location is Samsung slash phone slash

pictures slash panoramas that's where the files are stored after they're taken

off the theta camera wirelessly and onto the phone there also seems to be another file used

on the phone that is not readily readily visible that it mirrors that one and I

think it's a control to prevent editing but that's just my assumption. Again I

think that the biggest advantage with the theta V is you can control with the

app the camera get better settings therefore a better product. It doesn't look

like you can edit them. Biggest pitfall I found talking about pitfalls is I tried

to move the pictures from using the transfer mode on the camera to the phone

and that blows the whole system up. I just followed what looked like a logical

process and what I thought I had done in the past. So hope this helps happy

shooting and mapping and please ask any questions you might have. The whole

concept I find is pretty exciting because of what you can map and the

speed you can map it at. Prior to this when you had to do individual shots move every

ten feet another shot move it to the phone it took a long time. Now at a rapid

speed you can do an area. They come out good it's not DSLR quality that you

would get from you rotator but they're good-looking decent

pictures and I'd love to hear your comments in the flow. Please post them if

you have any questions I'll try them out and hopefully this will get some people

started using the concept and avoid some of the pitfalls

How Much Faster Are DKC: Tropical Freeze Load Times on Switch vs Wii U? COMPARISON + Funkier Menus - Duration: 3:22.

So we recently had the chance to play Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on Nintendo Switch

at Dutch Comic Con--and it's still the same fantastic game it was on the Wii U--only now,

a bit Funkier.

And that includes the menus, as files created with Funky Mode now are displayed with his

surfboard as a backdrop--and beyond that, Funk Kong now pops out from behind the statue

on the menu here whereas on Wii U, only a crab used to appear.

Neat!

But besides Funky, we noticed another difference too--faster load times!

But how much faster?

Well, that's what we're here to find out!

But befree we get start, a couple of quick notes.

For one, Tropical Freeze is still pre-release and while we expect similar results with the

full game, we can't gurantee the load times won't change in the final version.

Secondly, Switch games all have slight variences in loading speed dependent on whether it's

loading from a physical cartridge or from the internatal memory or even from an SD card.

And since we're not 100% confident which one is the case here, take these load times as

more of a general overview--even if the load times don't change that substanially between

the three.

Finally, all of this applies to the original Wii U version as well, which is why we've

tested loading it from both the Wii U's internal memoiry as well as a physical disc.

Alright, so first up, let's check out how it takes it takes to get from the main meu

to the world map--with the Switch version on the far left, and the Wii U version on

the right that's installed to the internal memory.

On your marks, get set--go!!

And as expected, the Switch version finishes up first in just about 8 and a half seconds.

Whereas the Wii U doesn't finish until over 9 seconds later at the 17 and a half mark--which

is over twice as long as it took the Switch.

And in case you're curious, the disc version took about 2.5 seconds longer, clocking in

at almost 20 seconds--yikes!

So so far, it's looking pretty good for the Switch version!

You might have also noticed that the cloud animation was also smoother on the Switch,

whereas it got hung up on the Wii U for a couple of seconds,

Next up, let's test how long it takes to start the first level from the World Map, as measured

from the moment we choose to start it up until DK's tie slides off-screen.

Starting...NOW!

And once again, the Switch version finishes first at just slightly over 10 seconds.

But this time, the Wii U internal memory one isn't far behind, clicking in just 2 seconds

longer or just 12 seconds total.

As for the disc version?

Well that took just about 2.5 seconds longer, coming in just under 15 seconds total.

So the difference isn't quite as profound here--especially compared to the Wii U's internal

memory, but the slightly speedier Switch times are still appreciated.

Buty unfortunately, we wren't able to test any other levels--so it's possible we'll see

even greater differences later on in the game.

And there you have it--that's all the testing we can do so far, but rest assured we'll be

back with even more once we have the full version of the game on Switch ourselves.

And with that thanks for watching and make sure to click that Subscribe button for more

LeBron James issues big warning to top college athletics program. - Duration: 2:55.

LeBron James issues big warning to top college athletics program.

LeBron James has a beef with University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban, but it

has nothing to do with anything the coach has done on the football field.

It has to do with competing barbershops.

More specifically, it has to do with videos being shot in barbershops.

Last week, the Alabama football program's Twitter account featured a tease for something

called "Shop Talk."

It features Saban, alum Julio Jones and other Tide players having an unscripted discussion

while in a barber shop.

The problem with that concept, in the eyes of James and his multimedia platform known

as Uniterrupted, is that it is very, very similar to something James has created called

"The Shop," which features James and friends having an unscripted discussion while in a

barber shop.

There have been two episodes of "The Shop" released via Uniterrupted to date, and a third

episode is in the post-production process.

James' company sent a letter to the University of Alabama expressing concerns about the similarities

of the two programs.

'Shop Talk' is clearly using the ideas, concepts, and format previously created and

exploited by Uninterrupted in connection with its program 'The Shop,' and Uninterrupted

believes 'Shop Talk' infringes the copyright in 'The Shop,'" Josh Tarnow, head of Uninterrupted's

business and legal affairs, wrote in a letter obtained by Cleveland.com.

"In addition, your use of the name 'Shop Talk' and the related logo infringes Uninterrupted's

valuable trademark rights in 'The Shop,' and in the name and design associated therewith.

"Your continued exploitation of 'Shop Talk' infringes 'Uninterrupted's'

and significantly damages Uninterrupted's commercial prospects for 'The Shop.'"

Instead of issuing a cease and desist letter, however, Tarnow asks the university to let

the Uninterrupted view "Shop Talk" and then come up with a possible resolution.

"Rather than get into a 'battle of legal letters,' or rushing into legal proceedings,

we think it would be beneficial for you to please provide Uninterrupted with a copy of

the complete episode 1 of 'Shop Talk' to review and to then have a conversation

about how to address Uninterrupted's concerns amicably," Tarnow wrote.

Tarnow claims the first episode of James' "The Shop" was viewed 4 million times

and the show has drawn interest from networks looking to develop it into a TV series.

A university spokesman said he was still collecting information on the matter and did not release

a statement when contacted Monday morning by AL.com.
