SpheroCam HDR : Full spherical HDR Image Camera 50 mp
|
 SpheronVR has developed the SpheroCamHDR from the ground up for capturing outstanding fully spherical High-Dynamic Range images. The system captures incidental real-world radiance over the full sphere in a single pass and stores the image data in one of several widely accepted file formats. The high resolution gives plenty of detailed structure for reflection mapping and background shots as well.
The SpheroCamHDR is the first-ever camera to feature full-fledged HDR technology. It is a system solution in itself with greater potential for dynamic range than is likely to be found in most scenes. With up to 26 f-stops in one image the SpheroCamHDR captures all levels of light intensity, in all directions, and that in a single scanning pass. Image underexposure and overexposure are problems that don’t apply to the SpheroCamHDR.
