360° photos and panoramas
Immersive photograps or 360° panoramas captures a full sphere around a camera. So unlike an ordinary framed photo you can see the whole surrounding around a photo spot.
Landscape panoramas by Navibyte are photographed using high quality 360° cameras. Check out photos and other content published on Kuula and Polycam services.
360° videos and animations
360° cameras allow also recording videos, not only photos. See Boat trip to Virrat Harbor as an example of a time lapse video presenting beautiful waterways in Finland.
You can also produce impressive animations from still 360° photos by animating camera direction, view composition and image projection. Visiting Häme Castle shows you walls, towers and mysterious rooms of the castle and Sunsets in 360 degrees introduces a photo artwork exhibition.
360° virtual tours and experiences
360° photos are best viewed by immersive devices like VR headsets. However also any modern web browser allows experiencing such photos from different viewpoints!
See the pallokuva.net website for 360° virtual tours and experiences.
360° artwork and prints
To show a 360° photo on a print it must be cropped to a partial view or transformed to a flat image using a projection like stereographic projection or "tiny planet".
The pallokuva.art gallery website shows artwork and photo prints produced from 360° panoramas.
