At Hale Technology in Practice, our mission is to empower design and construction firms to adopt technology that will enhance productivity and collaboration. In this multi-part series, we will explore 360° photos, cameras, and technology. In Volume 1, we will discuss the difference between still and 360° images, learn how 360° cameras work, explore some hardware, and list some construction specific applications of 360° photos and video. Next week, Volume 2 will investigate the applications for 360° photo and video more in-depth and discuss ways to view and share your photos with your existing software. Finally, in Volume 3, come back to learn about automated software and apps that are currently available including their uses, strengths and weaknesses, and cost-effectiveness.
