Radiohead’s latest video for the track ‘House of Cards’ has been released through Google Code. Shot without cameras it uses two 3D capture technologies, one that captures images at close proximity and one that can capture large environments such as landscapes. The cloud point data used for the video can be downloaded for anyone interested in putting together their own video of the track. Click here for the ‘making of’ video.
