I want to collaborate with one of the dance groups on campus and re-create a similar video (like the one below) using their choreography to a different song. When someone puts on a google cardboard (or another head set) they will be transported to an all white room, surrounded by dancers performing a piece of choreography and interacting with them (interacting with the camera by making eye contact, motioning for them to join in on the dancing, etc). Because the dancers would be performing the choreography in a circle around the 360 rig, any way the person turns, they'll see someone doing the choreography.
The best way I can describe it is, imagine this in 360 video:

It was hard accommodating the dancers schedule so we had to reconstruct the feel that we were going for. We decided to treat this as a test run to see if something like this (but on a bigger scale) could be done and what problems would we run into. We realized that having objects in the background for the stitching software to pick up helps with the stitching. The software kept merging videos or eliminating them because it couldn't tell which was the floor from the ceiling. The plain background threw it off.
