VR photography (after virtual-reality photography) is the interactive viewing of panoramic photographs, generally encompassing a 360-degree circle or a spherical view. The results is known as VR photograph (or VR photo ), 360-degree photo , [ 1 ] photo sphere , [ 2 ] or spherical photo , as well as interactive panorama or immersive panorama .
Photographers typically capture 360 photography in a photography studio by using a turntable, camera, tripod, lights and a white background. To obtain a pure white background, a white lightbox or light tent can be used to help light the object evenly, though these can flatten the image, so some photographers use a white sheet or white card in the background.
It is used to encode and deliver the effect of a spherical, 360-degree image to viewers such as needed for 360-degree videos and for virtual reality. A 360 video projection is a specialized form of a map projection, with characteristics tuned for the efficient representation, transmission, and display of 360° fields of view.
360 photography may refer to: 360 panorama, a photograph spanning a full circle in side; 360-degree video; 360-degree interactive photography; 360 product photography, the rotational photography of a subject
Some omnidirectional cameras contain wide-angle lenses on the front and rear to facilitate the recording of 360-degree video. 360-degree video is typically recorded using either a special rig of multiple cameras, or using a dedicated camera that contains multiple camera lenses embedded into the device, and recording overlapping angles simultaneously.
Schematic of an omnidirectional camera with two mirrors: 1. Camera 2. Upper Mirror 3. Lower Mirror 4. "Black Spot" 5. Field of View (light blue) In photography, an omnidirectional camera (from "omni", meaning all), also known as 360-degree camera, is a camera having a field of view that covers approximately the entire sphere or at least a full circle in the horizontal plane.
A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees. [4] It is not an SI unit—the SI unit of angular measure is the radian—but it is mentioned in the SI brochure as an accepted unit. [5]
Circle-Vision 360° developed from the Circarama format, which uses eleven 16 mm projectors. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The first Circarama film was A Tour of the West (1955). [ 2 ] [ 4 ] For the film Italia '61 , the number of cameras was reduced to nine, and the 16 mm film was shown using 35 mm projectors.
