RICOH 910725 THETA V 360 Degree Spherical Camera - Metallic Grey

Product Information

cameras are a great choice for shooting immersive virtual tours. Upload 360 images or video to a compatible hosting platform (such as Facebook or CloudPano) and visitors will be able to explore a location in full 360 degrees from the comfort of their home. This is particularly useful for venues such as a hotels and museums, as well as real estate listings. Resolution is a rather straightforward concept in traditional video, but in 360 video, having multiple sensors capturing a complete image sphere that will often be viewed at very close proximity makes the issue of resolution a bit more complicated. Note: The remote recording and remote power cable are not soldered on FC board in the factory. Please solder it well before using these two functions.

The SMO 360 camera supports remote control of the camera’s power on/off and start/stop of the video recording through the controller. The yellow wire controls turning the video recording on/off and the blue wire controls turning the camera on/off.

The first test was conducted in a room (geometrically simple and regular) of the geomatics laboratory of the Polytechnic of Bari (Italy) where 20 targets were placed on interior walls, floor, and ceiling. The coordinates of the target were calculated through a post-processing operation carried out in Leica Cyclone on one scan (with a maximum distance of 5m) performed using the HDS3000 Terrestrial Laser Scanner which has a position accuracy of 6mm@50m [ 27]. Subsequently, 9 spherical photos performed by Ricoh Theta SC2 were taken inside the room.

Max Resolution: Depends on the camera used, the edges of the ball will produce very blurry-looking reflections, even if the camera is super high resolution. Coors, B.; Alexandru, P.C.; Andreas, G.

[ Google Scholar] The more lenses a unit has, the better the quality will be at each viewing angle. For example, we have all seen how a fisheye lens distorts around the edges. If you take just two wide angle lenses and stitch together the image, there will be some distortion at the edges. Stitching software can do a great job of cleaning up the distortion, but if there are, say, four cameras or more cameras, the image will be much cleaner. More lens-sensor pairs can also mean higher total resolution, leading to a more immersive experience for your viewers. In more casual shooting scenarios, you can get away with using the camera’s built-in mic system. 360 video cameras will often use multiple microphones to capture spatial audio that aligns with the image sphere for a more immersive final product. If you don’t plan to record audio separately, make sure that the audio the camera captures will be sufficient. Other 360 camera features Most 360 video cameras you encounter record in 2D.Some, however, capture 360 video in stereoscopic 3D. This gives the image more depth and makes the viewing experience feel more natural. However, there is still a big difference between 3D 360 video and true virtual reality. VR allows viewers to move through and interact with a scene. Viewers watching 3D 360 video are still tied to the camera position you chose for them, but the overall experience will be more immersive. AudioRicoh has added three new shooting modes to the SC2: a ‘Face mode,’ which recognizes human faces in the frame and automatically applies skin smoothing; a new ‘Night View’ mode that helps to shoot low-noise footage in low-light environments; and a lens-by-lens exposure mode that controls the cameras independently for situations where one side of 360-degree exposure might be brighter than the other. The smooth app lets you edit clips from 360 footage pretty much seamlessly, meaning you can get great images no matter where the camera is pointed, and swap effortlessly between them. As we noted in our full review, the Max also has impressive specs elsewhere – with a six-mic setup, it's a highly credible vlogging camera, and the 1600mAh battery means you'll have enough charge for a day's shooting.
