You Spin Me Right Round
...like a record baby, right round, right round. Whether youre a T-Rex fan or not, this nifty app will definitely get your head spinning! I first saw a developmental version of this at last years WPPI convention in Vegas and have been waiting patiently ever since for it to become available in the app store. I have not been disappointed, and am anxious to spend some more time with Spinorama to explore all the bells and whistles. Primarily the software creates a new type of viewable image that allows you to "look around" your subject after you have collected the requisite images. The resulting effect is a hybrid of traditional 3D, holograms, and virtual reality.
As a wedding photographer I am keenly interested in being able to somehow add these to the portfolio of options I can offer clients (maybe little spinorama apps they can run on their own iPhones?). In any case I have been informed the developer is working on some means for sharing user-generated spinoramas (in addition to the so-called "scatter-shot" they offer) and cant wait to see what they come up with.
I have found the best results are made by importing images from that I have taken with my digital SLR because the iPhones built-in camera cant really come close to the quality of even my low-end Canon. But for quick work, I think the iPhone camera does quite admirably. I am planning to make a spinorama of an engaged couple this weekend at my studio and Im excited to see their reaction when they see the results on the iPhone!
