How to use the Cupix SLAM App to streamline capturing 360º photos paired with a 360º 1-click camera
 
Hi All,Creating a Cupix 3D Tour will get even easier and faster with the soon-to-be-released Cupix SLAM app (iOS) to streamline capturing 360º photo spheres paired with these 360º 1-click cameras:✓ Ricoh Theta V✓ Insta360 One X (Cupix SLAM App integration in January 2018)✓ Panono (Cupix SLAM App integration in January 2018)✓ Mi Sphere✓ MADV MadventureThe Cupix SLAM App is current in beta. Contact Cupix Support to request access.While it has always been easy to capture 360º photos with a 360º 1-click camera and upload the 360º photo spheres to Cupix, the Cupix SLAM app leverages the ARKit - the powerful iOS Augmented Reality library - to automatically tracks your camera route or path during 360º photo sphere capture. Camera can be mounted on a helmet; pole; or tripod mounted. Cupix SLAM App works indoors or outdoors. No extra localization sensors - like 3D lasers or Beacon - needed.(SLAM = Simultaneously Localizing And Mapping)I could imagine that Cupix will integrating more 360º 1-click cameras. You can use any 360º 1-click camera - without the Cupix Mobile Capture App - to create 360º photos and upload to Cupix.Cupix Director of Sales Scott Anderson and Cupix Head of Product Strategy Paul Collart will be my guests on WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Tuesday, 18 December 2018 to give us a demo of the soon-to-be-released Cupix Mobile Capture App - paired with a 360º 1-Click Camera and discuss this easier and faster workflow for capturing and creating a 3D Tour with CUPIX.
