Surround360 System
Surround360 is a hardware and software system for capturing and rendering 3D (stereo) 360 videos and photos, suitable for viewing in VR. We divide the open source components of the system into three subdirectories:
- /surround360_design -- hardware designs and assembly instructions
- /surround360_camera_ctl -- software for controlling the camera to capture raw data
- /surround360_render -- software for rendering the raw data that is captured into a format suitable for viewing in VR.
Instruction Manual
Please refer to our instruction manual (which covers use of both hardware and software) here:
Sample Data
We provide a sample dataset for those who are interested in testing the rendering software without first building a camera.
