Have you ever wanted to print your 360 photos as a sphere? There are services that do it, such as Scandy but they are not cheap. Takayuki Sasaki has created a clever website that will enable you print a 360 photo sphere for free. Here’s how to use it:
It’s amusing but the look of it really is more of a crafts project than a photo project. Having all those lines across the image kinda messes up the smoothness of the original image.
When I read the earlier article about Scandy however, that is exactly what I imagined would be a great way to display such images. So I went to the link for the Scandy website and found no reference to the spheres described in your article. A litle further Google research led me however to this website: https://scandysphere.co/ and there I was a little shocked to see the price for a tiny sphere… US$500.00 !!! And even at the price, the resolution and IQ appear to be what one would expect from a 30-year old printer ! (See: https://scandysphere.co/create/overview)
When they come up with a true crisp 3D image within a Lucite sphere, then I’ll be impressed !
Thanks Francois. Yes Scandy is expensive that’s why I think it never took off.
it was really helpful thanks @Mic Ty
