I just recently bought myself a 360 camera for capturing the places that i explore, so far it's been an interesting technology to learn.
It has two mega wide angle lenses on each side of the device so it captures everything in the room, then allowing the viewers to navigate the room themselves.
There are a few things I can do with it:
1 - Place it in the middle of a room and take one still photo that the viewer can move around with mouse, or finger on mobile:

2 - I can place the camera in the middle of the room and create a video still file that I stitch together like this, use your mouse or finger to move around:
3 - I can walk around and film a video, allowing the viewer to navigate around the room with me as i walk and narrate:
Here is what the image file looks like when not optimized by the website or platform that you are posting to:
Super trippy.... Like exploring a video game, only the images are real. I dig it! Can you tie them all together so the viewer can "walk" through the house, kinda like Google Maps Street view? I can't wait to see the direction this takes your photography!!
Give abandonment a reason for its sacrificial reclamation to nature. Love it. Remember it. Take a picture. Share it. Leave the decay to nature.

Actually yes, I can do that and once i am comfortable with the process i'll be doing that as well!
Oh, this is badass!! Really adds an interesting (and as already stated, trippy) perspective for the viewer. Love those interactive stills; and as cool as the videos were on my phone, I'm excited to check them out on my laptop next time I'm at a hotspot. Congrats on the new purchase; good luck and have fun with it out there, and thanks for sharing! Definitely look forward to more. 😀

Re: Testing out 360 Degree Photo Technology in Abandoned Places <Reply # 8 on 5/15/2019 8:34 PM >
I've always thought 360 stuff was cool, but I'd never seen it in any abandoned places. These are really cool! A friend of mine has a Gopro Fusion from his work that I'd love to try sometime.
definitely great potential for 360 vids! Be very careful with the placement of the camera. a lot of people still they to put the camera in the corner when really the best place is dead center or even next to some furniture or moulding to give some more perspective.
