Virtual Reality continues to gain strength with each new piece of news that arises around this not so novel technology And the future is pointing in this direction, where users can put on some VR glasses to enjoy a virtual world that can differ a lot from the real one, and that is really interesting to live experiences. Thus, there are more and more videos, applications and games to enjoy with this technology.Something in which Google wanted to fully participate by creating its own application to achieve immersive photos, where the user is the protagonist, and who decides the framing at all times .
To do this Google has created Cardboard Camera, a simple photography application that is responsible for capturing the user's environment and reproducing it realistically through Virtual Reality Specifically, in low-budget glasses designed by Google and known as Cardboard (cardboard), which can be found at very good price in Internet stores such as Amazon In this way, with the glasses and the application, the user can capture 360 panoramic photos degrees to enjoy the whole environment, adding sound to make it seem like you're there.
Just start the application and click on the camera icon in the lower right corner to activate the lens of the terminal At that moment, the screen shows a guide to follow to capture the entire scene around, as is usually offered in photography applications to achieve a 360 degree panorama Bit by bit, image by image, the scene is captured and stored in the app. The good thing is that, along with the image, the user can also capture the sound to generate much more complete and attractive multimedia content.
However, this application makes sense when the mobile phone is inserted into the glasses Cardboard And it is at that moment when you can enjoy Virtual Reality That is, get images that clearly show the objects that are near and far away of the scene realistically.All this being able to change the point of view and the framing of the image just by looking towards that place. A sensation that, accompanied by sound, can transport the user to that moment and environment in a quite realistic way.
Of course, this application does not capture images in real 3D, but rather the program takes care of falsifying it and sending two images, one for each eye, in order to achieve the desired depth effect. Something striking and useful to remember beyond the usual photographs the last trip, vacation, a place”¦ All at low cost and with quite surprising results.
The good thing is that, in addition, from the application you can see other photographs created by users to enjoy more content and move to other places just by putting these cardboard glasses on your head.The CardboardCamera app is available only for mobile Android via Google Play Store fully free
