Consisting of the Digital Makerspace, Digital Visualisation Room and Studios

360º Photos & Videos

360° camera is a type of camera which has 360 degrees field of view so that it captures all the scenery around it in one shot. The resulting 360° photo or video provides you an immersive view of the captured scene. Apart from the well-known Google’s Street View, this technology is now prevalently applied in walk through tours of real estate, virtual exhibitions and online live performances.

Below is the 360° camera available at i-Space for you to use. We also provide a virtual tour authoring software with which you can create a virtual tour like ours.
