| Immersive Technology
Unlike traditional digital video or still photography, in which
the person controlling the camera decides what data is important
to capture within a limited frame of view, immersive technology
offers the viewer a continuous 360° field-of-view. And unlike
"virtual reality," immersive technology uses only real-world
images and data.
Initially funded by the Department of Energy
and NASA, IPIX developed one of the first commercially available
systems to produce 360° by 360° navigable images. Based
on this work, IPIX secured its first patent and has since developed
such breakthrough innovations as a very high-resolution video
camera that can capture fine visual details like facial features
and license plates.
IPIX immersive technology includes both hardware
devices, such as video cameras and special fisheye lenses for
still cameras, as well as image processing software that "stitches"
individual images into a full spherical environment that can be
navigated by a viewer.
Immersive Photography
A single immersive image frame can be used for a virtual tour,
project documentation, safety training, or an archival data base
of images for forensic analysis. Other popular applications include
site inspection, construction documentation, project planning,
and emergency planning.
Consecutive immersive image frames can be streamed
together to create an immersive video for surveillance applications,
or polished for sale as content on DVDs or Web-casts.
Pricing
$140 for the location (includes one iPIX photo) and each additional
iPIX photo is $40
