Mark used a fish eye lens to take photos and then stitched them together in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/IPIX\">IPIX<\/a>, the software dominating the market at the time. He also added interview snippets that became audible as the viewer rolled over hotspots on the image.<\/p>\n<p>Mark continued to develop 360\u00b0, producing material for travel, and saw the field change quickly. \u201cThe tech developed and became easier, meaning you could start stitching in different software,\u201d he explains. \u201cOther equipment came onto the market such as special rotators that you could attach to the top of the tripod when photographing with a 17-20mm wide-angle lens, removing the tripod in post.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After learning the photojournalism trade on a newspaper in London, Mark freelanced for NGOs all over the world. But when the NGO work dried up his 360\u00b0 skills proved to be a major pull for travel companies.

But non-pros got on board shortly after, and the quality went down. However Mark has still shot a lot of 360\u00b0 for hotels who want to be featured on Google Maps, stitching these images together in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kolor.com\/autopano\/autopano-features\/\">Autopano Giga<\/a> software.<\/p>\n<p>Recently Mark has started using a new camera system called the <a href=\"https:\/\/matterport.com\/\">Matterport<\/a>\u00a0which has been out in the States for a year and a half, but only in the UK since September. It rotates on a motor, and shoots using infra-red that measures the distance from the walls and back, allowing it to create a 3D model.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10515\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10515\" style=\"width: 663px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=KxpJwLTPD3A\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10515 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-20.24.46-663x340.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-20.24.46-663x340.png 663w, https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-20.24.46-478x245.png 478w, https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-20.24.46-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/www.robertharding.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screen-Shot-2017-08-09-at-20.24.46.png 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10515\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">3D model of Sigmund Freud&#8217;s House, London, created using Matterport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He has used this to produce 3D models of buildings such as <a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=sw5CMnsKquA\">John Jacob Astor Estate<\/a> in the Maldives and <a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=KxpJwLTPD3A\">Sigmund Freud\u2019s house<\/a>, each of which took him only a morning to capture with this system. He believes that high definition 3D models and virtual tours like these will become more and more popular.<\/p>\n<p>For fun Mark uses a Ricoh Theta VR ready camera that fits in his top pocket. He points out that there is an even smaller camera coming out, the size of a pen, that shoots high quality 4K 360\u00b0 video and can be controlled with an iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Mark believes there is increasing potential to use VR in advertising, citing Krispy Kreme as one of the companies that has recently created a VR film for Google cardboard and iPhone. Mark would also like to go back to his original approach to 360\u00b0 in which he embedded audio, harking back to his first 360\u00b0 work in Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c360\u00b0 and virtual tours were a natural progression for me,\u201d he concludes. \u201cPeople are still apprehensive.
