Abstract:
Devices and methods related to capturing 360 degree spherical images are provided. A computing device can capture, substantially simultaneously, a first image with the first image sensor and a second image with a second image sensor. The first image sensor can be positioned on a first side of the computing device and oriented at a first orientation with respect to an axis of rotation. The second image sensor can be positioned on a second side of the device substantially opposite the first side of the device and oriented at a second orientation that is axially rotated from the first orientation with respect to the axis of rotation. The computing device can stitch together the first image and the second image to create an output image that captures a 360 degree field of view with respect to the computing device.
