This is a great demo. Looks really good.
If you take the selfie with the THETA V, you can get the equipment and the person in the same picture. The person viewing the picture has to rotate it.
There’s a generally challenge of how to use 360 pictures for documentation purposes. I think there’s both technology challenges and human technique.
I’ve been trying to use 360 images more for storytelling and I’m still struggling. These pictures are selfies:
By rotating the picture, I’m also in the shot.
I think that it’s easier to take a standard shot because the photographer can control the view of the audience. The 360 picture requires new techniques to get the audience to rotate the picture.
The Ricoh ads and general theta360.com site use auto-rotating to show the entire image. Those images above are click-to-rotate on Facebook, which means that almost no one is going to see the entire image.
