Journey360 is an application that enables you to make a map of places you have visited, featuring spherical images and videos created by using RICOH THETA.
■What kind of application can make RICOH THETA more enjoyable?
Showing spherical images to my friends who are not familiar with this type of technologies, they just say "Great!" However, just showing is not good enough for making them more interested in spherical photography than in normal photography.
■The application that makes the best of spherical photography.
The biggest feature of the spherical image taken by RICOH THETA is the sense of presence that makes us feel as if we were in the scene. We think making a viewer conscious of the location of an image is very important to make the image more attractive.
■Sophisticated Animation
We successfully created the sophisticated animation effect that is provided when a spherical image is being shown. It makes you feel as if you are drawn into the scene from one's memory.
■Sophisticated Screen Design
The screen features the vivid pink color and cute illustrations, targeted mainly at female users in their twenties.
■Solving One Obstacle of RICOH THETA Adoption
The posture to raise RICOH THETA in one hand above own head is such a noticeable posture like that of the Statue of Liberty holding the torch. This might be embarrassing for the beginners. We hope our cute rendering animation helps the users to overcome the initial hurdle. The sophisticated, fun design appeals to many users regardless of gender and generation.
■The latest design and high quality
Employing the latest material design offered by Google, it features the consistency as a platform and the intuitive operation.
■Camera Revolution vs. Display Revolution
Journey360 is compatible with VR Goggles that uses smartphones.
■Versatile architecture and future prospects
Since Journey360 was designed with versatility in mind, it can also be used for introducing rental properties, guiding tourist spots, etc. It has great potential for business use.
