Create amazing 3D models with the new Wunder360 camera
Imagine you could go around creating perfect 3D models of every place you ever visit. That’s the new reality with this amazing 360-degree camera.
- What is a 360-degree camera? It’s a video camera that can capture the view in all directions at the same time.
- Why do I need VR video? Being able to look around is way more immersive than staring at a TV screen.
- Is it possible to create a digital record of my travels? Yes, with the new Wunder360 S1. This remarkable camera lets you create 3D models while you walk around.
When you’re exploring somewhere new, it’s easy to miss the intimate details of your environment. Our eyes are naturally drawn to epic scenery and famous landmarks rather than market stalls and stray dogs. While the latter pairing may be less exciting, they are far better indicators of the culture you are visiting.
The arrival of 360-degree video has been a great step forward for travelers. Such immersive footage allows you to relive your adventures in high definition. But what if you could go one step further and explore once more?
The new Wunder360 S1 camera lets you do just that. This remarkable device lets you create perfect 3D models of any environment, alongside regular VR video.
How to create 3D models
Most of us are familiar with motion capture technology. It’s used extensively in the making of games and movies. An actor stands inside a ring of cameras, which capture his or her every movement from every angle. The footage can then be used to produce a perfect 3D reconstruction.
Wunder360 S1 does something similar, except inside out. The camera has two wide-angle lenses that work in tandem to capture 360-degree footage. At the same time, they create a depth map of your surroundings.

Powerful cloud software can then combine the two parts, forming a perfect 3D model of your environment.
