Apple can also shoot 3D photos Google VR camera on iOS

Google’s Cardboard Camera is an application that can capture immersive photos using ordinary smartphones. Now that this application has released the IOS version, your iPhone will also be able to use this feature to shoot 360-degree 3D photos.

The Cardboard Camera was launched on the Android platform late last year. This application requires you to take a mobile phone and take a circle around yourself. After computer vision processing, you can generate panoramic photos in 3D mode. This is a very cool thing because even professional 360-degree cameras like the Samsung Gear 360 and the Ricoh THETA cannot capture panoramic 3D photos.

Today, Google introduced the IOS version of the Cardboard Camera to bring amazing 3D capabilities to the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

The image captured by this application is called "VR Photos" by Google. It is a spherical photograph that is not complete but has 3D depth (since it can only be taken horizontally, the top and bottom are automatically filled with blanks). The photos taken can be easily shared on the web, and you can also choose to record live sounds so that you can restore the scene more realistically.

Of course, if you don't have Google Cardboard, you can't see the 3D effect, but even if you don't, you can share these panoramas with your application (as well as your friends) until you decide to wear a heads-up display. The true charm of these photos.

You can also feel the quality of the Android version by watching photos taken with iPhone. Although the iPhone's resolution is somewhat inadequate compared to Android's flagship phone, the photos taken are not as sharp. However, the iPhone camera is obvious to all, and the quality of the photos taken is still very good.

Cardboard Camera can be downloaded and installed on Android and IOS platforms for free. On the Android platform, this application requires Android 4.3~5 (iOS requires 8.0 or more) to install. Currently, it has 11,000 comments and has been downloaded and installed more than 1 million times.
