Published by IBC Studio at September 18, 2021

A 360 camera is also called an omnidirectional camera. It is used to take 360-degree photography and videography. 360 cameras are used when large visual fields need to be included, such as shooting panoramas.

360-degree photography means the photo is a 360-degree panoramic shot. It surrounds the original point from where the shot has been taken. These photos create being at the same place as a photographer and looking around to the left, right, up, and down.

A 360-degree video is also called immersive video or spherical video. They are recordings where the view of every direction is recorded all at the same time. To view these 360 videos, you can click the video and drag anywhere on the screen to change the direction of the viewing.
360 cameras can be used to view events, functions, do virtual house and factory tours, etc. these cameras can be used to show houses, factories, or other such properties to the consumer instead of physically being present at the place to view it.

360 cameras can be used by hotel virtual tours and Airbnb’s so that the consumers can see and check the room and the area out before planning to book the hotel or the Airbnb.

How to take proper 360 photos and 360 videos for such situations

Where to place the camera

A 360-degree camera typically uses two fisheye lenses and software to auto-stitch two images together. So, it is very important to know where you are placing the camera so you can get the full subject into the frame of the camera. There is no need of focusing the camera on something particular. You just need to place the camera properly and not do anything for photography. For 360 videos, you will need to hold the camera steady and keep the area you are shooting in the frame of the camera so that the whole place can be viewed properly in the final product.

Tripod is important

A tripod is very important if you are using a 360 camera for a photo or a video shoot to get proper and steady shots. Using a camera without a tripod will cause the image or the video to be distorted, blurry, uneven, etc. so it is a good idea to invest in a tripod. You can use the tripod to raise the camera high up in the air to take shots and remove yourself from the photos and videos.

Understandable for the viewers

Taking a 360-degree photo or video is basically all about the subject. You have to linger around the subject and show the subject from all perspectives and angles so that the consumers can fully understand and feel the subject. This will let the consumers view and explore the place by themselves freely instead of being at that place physically.
