Our Concept

WHAT IS A 360 PHOTOGRAPHY?

A 360 (degree) photography refers to a series of images of an item taken from different angles on the same place, and presented in an interactive format, allowing the user to rotate the item through 360 degrees and zoom on details. A turning unit is used to rotate the product and to create a single row spin, typically of 12 up to 72 photographs. The number of images is optional and can be set up in Basip controlling software which is delivered with the hardware.

After capture, these individual images can be p g post-produced for being rendered into a suitable 360 degree viewer format. Typically, only very short post-production is needed (less than 2 minutes for the whole series).

FOCUS ON MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY

Speed and accuracy of production
Total productivity depends very considerably on how quickly you place the object on the axis of rotation, Using Laser Sets of Fotorobot.cz system the task is solved very swiftly and precisely.

Wide range of robots controlled in the same way

Wide range of robots from table-top size upto a 5m diameter floor Carousel 5000 are all controlled in the same way, saving time both in training and in the workplace.

Patented synchronisation of the base and overhead robots

Synchronised rotation is useful for objects such as bags with handles or high strap shoes that need upper support. However, this feature is also advantageous to show sets - for example a necklace hangs and the rest of the set (earrings etc.) lays, or a ski boot hangs and a recommended binding lays beneath.
