Research On VR Animation Design Based On Google Spotlight Stories

In each historical stage,people a progressive aesthetic value orientation.The virtual reality technology,which was initially envisioned by people,is now officially introduced into the general public's consumption perspective in a new way of visual communication.The infinite potential of digital technology has a profound impact on the way we explore virtual reality,even the way we look at life.The explosion of immersive digital technology,coupled with a breakthrough in the way the brain works,will soon make life in science fiction real.The truth is always boring,the daily life is always mediocre,and under the irrigation of technology,people are increasingly not satisfied with the real world with a lot of limitations,so we need the illusion to support it.Virtual reality technology will be the most powerful media technology of all time,and we are standing at the door of this new era.Google Spotlight Stories is a new mobile movie technology application released in 2015 by Google.With the help of 3D and 2D animation,360 degree panoramic video,stereo sound,and mobile sensor fusion technology,combined with virtual reality and panoramic film technology,the application has created a story world with different styles and experience for mobile devices.Through the in-depth study both in theory and practice on the VR animation works of Google Spotlight Stories,by analyzing,inducing and summarizing the design rules of VR animation design in terms of form,features,methods and techniques,this thesis summarizes the animation design in VR works,including VR animation's story architecture design,audio-visual language design,character animation design,interaction design,etc.Scene design includes scene function design,scene interaction design,2D and 3D scene construction,the combination of augmented reality and animation,etc.The difficulty is to combine the character animation story with the interaction design,to frame the overall story frame,and the interactive logical thinking of each part.Finally,combining the research results with my own graduation design project,the theoretical results are applied to the creation,and new ideas and conclusions are obtained in the process of creation.I hope that while improving my professional skills,I can contribute my meager strength to the theory of VR content.
