The evolution of technology has led to a more connected self indulged population. It is estimated that consumers take about 93 million ‘Selfies’ globally each day with every third photo taken by those aged 18 to 24 . With the sharing of our photos and videos on Social media sites like Facebook and Twitters, it is no coincidence that some psychologists may consider this to be the most documented and narcissistic generation of our times.
In addition to the frequency of sharing our lives changing, the technology used to capture these moments has also evolved for the better. The disruptive 360 degree video technology in combination with other VR devices has enabled consumers to share their vacations, weddings, births and other important life moments with family and friends. A 360–degree camera may not be a must-have device on your list. But if you’ve looking to transform your old school 2D video to VR-friendly video which you can share, then perhaps it may be time to add this to your tech must have list.
Our friends at Evomotion have developed the FIRST 3D Scanning & 360 AI Camera. Called Wunder360 S1 this camera allows you to document, scan and project your location in 360 degrees. Unlike legacy 2D video, 3D is the content format of the future. You may ask why is this different than other devices. At less than 100g and only 74*50*35 mm, Wunder360 S1 is the world’s most compact 3D scanner and 360 camera.
This device is perfect if you want to:
- Create a virtual tour
- Generate high-density 3D models
- Convert the 3D contents into Minecraft model
For consumers it will mean that you can literally visit a site before you commit to spending your vacation there , or take a tour of that dream house no matter where you are.
Using the device is easy. Simply put on the helmet or set up your tripod. Insert the Wunder360 S1 into the dock and you now now ready to document the area. Simply press record and start to walk around the area. The Wunder360 S1 will capture video in 3040×1520@30fps / 2176×1080@60fps. Once you have completed you can upload your 360 degree footage to the Wunder360 cloud service where you can browse and download your files.
This camera also has a few other pretty cool features including the ability to livestream directly to Facebook and YouTube; in camera, real-time stitching which provides inbuilt stitching of the images locally without the need of any additional video editing software and a Phantom clipper which provides you the ability to snap and clip every part of a motion in 360
