PANORAMIC, CUBIC & SPHERICAL VR PHOTOGRAPHY:
IT'S TIME TO BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS
Since the inception of photography over 150 years ago, photographers
have continuously sought better ways to bring realism and a sense of
intimacy to their viewers. While panoramic photography has been with
us for almost 80 years, recent imaging technologies and software have
taken the panorama to yet another level, allowing capture of complete
360° x 360° cubic and spherical views of the scenes we photograph, along
with the ability to display them in powerfully immersive environments.
Cubic and spherical panoramas expand upon the traditional flat or cylindrical
panorama. They allow for documentation of the complete environment around
you and provide a way to virtually immerse your audience into your vision.
They even offer a new means of artistic expression. Natural spaces and
architectural projects can be accurately and interactively visualized
by audiences who may never actually visit these locations in person.
Virtual reality (VR) panoramas and object movies provide superior means
to entertain, educate and inform, as well as to market and sell commercial
products. Manfrotto's new 303SPH head allows photography of multi-row
cubic, spherical and cylindrical panoramas, along with VR object movie
sequences. It is the latest addition to Manfrotto's celebrated family
of pan heads, tripods and camera supports that will change the way you
photograph your world.
