Invited Erik Mathais of Immertec to Collaborate

His company films doctors in 360 and 3D in real time to use as course material for training doctors using Medoptic Virtual Surgical Observation.  He’s based in Ybor, possibly at the Blind Tiger Cafe, according to the news. 

 

Hi Erik,  Congrats on the piece in the Tampa Bay Business Journal.  I'm sure you are being slammed with fan mail right now so I'll be brief:

 

Big Cat Rescue's goal is to end the barbaric practice of holding wild cats in cages for amusement and we are investing in virtual reality as a way to change the demand for real lions and tigers in cages to virtual experiences.  We have over 7 TBs of stored 360 video that has been shot on the Insta360 Pro 2, GoPro Omni, GoPro Fusion, Insta360X and Insta360 One that we are happy to share, for free, to those who are willing to promote this technology and demand further.

 

We have an aging population of 60 exotic cats, and an onsite hospital where we mount both LIVE cameras and 360 cameras, and our two vets are already accustomed to having everything they do (except euthanasia and necropsies) being filmed in real time.  You can see some samples of our edited videos at:  360BigCat.com and 360BigCats.com

 

We just started messing around with 3D last week and think that's going to be a hit too.  I'd love to have you and your staff or family come see Big Cat Rescue and see if there are ways we can help each other.

 

Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.  

 

You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!
