Image result for experiments


Purpose:   road test all things 360; apps, devices, creative ideas 

fail fail fail its how we succeed 
some are dedicated for 360 spherical others are not but have some aspects that can be used so we test the limits and give feedback to app author and invite them to support the 360 Community 

many app authors are collaborating, the enthusiasm drives us 

If you get benefit from this my page: 
U OWE ME:->  give feedback; faults, improvements or pass the info to help others (Team work).
I dn't focus on spelling mistakes (I welcome voice conversation not text), feedback welcome (a complaint is a gift)
about me in feedback link or at top of 360 apps page













About me

The Nutty professor 
tests are done as an end user fueled with red wine at all hours of the night and shared here so I can remembered what happened 
often the notes are not clear .... its for me and when I get time I'm make it sensible, in the meantime use what you can 
I share the info to 360 Community free, my limited time is applied to lab test the product not selling it to you so there is little attention to spelling / grammar and window dressing.. cheers Phill Smith (more on me in 360 app page about me / my 360 stuff in devices my profile)

What's hot








2019 Feb best 360 camera for consumers



Feb 2019
what floats my boat (from my arsenal: theta, samsung, qoocam, insta)

Group shots / batch (typically virtual tours)
1. logo banner: insta is it: dynamic settings pic & vid 
2. app: vid to pic (in case I missed a shot)
3. host site: RoundMe - unique url on each image (multiple start points)

wish list: site to include option to share/sell rights to vendors

Individual shots
Night: Theta HDR is best
app: VeeR for multiple logos (when its working)

high action: insta360 one (small and a jet on 270cm selfie)
Videos: can't beat insta for endless reasons





2019.01.08 drone app Litchi beta test on in app stitching - page






2018.12 

Insta360 Stats is a new feature: add GPS overlay to your videos 






2018.10.07  ReTouch now with 360 support - lab test page

 



AND DNT FORGET
with all these images to move you'll need a turbo file transfer app SENDANYWHERE app for IOS Android and Desktop to move files via local wifi at lightening speed

sub page does not show all: some tests include several apps so best to use the directory (summary above and full at bottom of page with sort option)
 





in progress 



various apps listed here with draft notes (scribble notes), if they cut the grade they are advanced to a dedicated lab test page to expand the test with samples to verify with app host before we share to networks .. the app needs to have a minimum level of practical use for 360 users 

The tests are for 360 which squeeze of lot of content into the image as it wraps around into a sphere so we need super high resolution and 2x1



Pixaloop
2018.11.12 spotted today, downloaded   - same theme as Plotaverse 
has 4K and original file spec - HORAH
cost $30 pa for pro or $80 lifetime 
requested code to test drive  - basics limited to 1080 which is impressive 



Plotaverse    IOS and Android  desktop and mobile
2018.09.25 Motion effect to image
2x1 vid res 1900

2018.10 reported to co need 4k res 




Vinci (IOS & Android)) FREE size: 25mb Purpose: Arty filters

2018.09.11  basics in progress page  - see section arty filters




Animatix  started 2018.08.27    IOS   - motion to pics  website
motion on photos to video  - single image to video  as gif, vid or live pic
Video format 2x1 ok, res 1280  (need to get closer to 4k) 
three base effects with sub effects 

2018.09.05 no screen rotation, can pinch zoom,  effects apply to full image not partial image ie, brush in/out or anchor/freeze for such things as signs or logos 

apps that freeze area within image Plotaverse (anchors) and MaskArt (brush), Werble use layer that can be sized 
feedback given to app team 2018.09.05 they confirm they are adding the freeze area option - yeah yeah 


same website as Animatix  

2018.09.01 Inkwork   (2x1) max re 5000  good for contrast, close ups
Pic only, not really getting this compared to others (needs to be up close or dramatic contrast content) - perhaps banner with scenery objects




2018.09.01 Brushstroke  2x1 max 5000 arty good for contrast
awesome canvas:   works best with bright contrasting colours
2018.09.18 fun app many aspects but limited for 360 as the brush does not do justice to micro detail which is present in 360




2018.09.01 ToonCamera  2x1 Pic & Vid: retain original resolution, very good used mths ago deleted in error glad to see it again. many filter levels
Pic or vid:  video scenes are amazing - many levels of toon effects 
  2018.09.18 enjoying tests with this app - many variables 

res:  image input      output             res: video: input 3840   output



2018.09.01 Relight  2x1 retains original res size pic and vid   
Pic or Vid:  far more then its sister app Brightly:  
1. many Modes (low light, artist, clarity, sky, dramatic, over exposure, fog; each has many presets and slider
2. save options: retain elements to change later

2018.09.18 enjoying tests with this app - many variables 
                      Vid res 3840 crashes 

Photo res: input                        output



2018.09.01 Brightly   2x1 retains original res size pic and vid   astonishing results so far
Pic or Vid: astonishing ability to work the media. auto lighting adjusted with manual override, plus option for usual variables such as contrast, structure, saturation, warmth and more, Geo tagging
  2018.09.18 enjoying tests with this app - many variables 

res:  video: input 3840  output 1920 





2018.03.20 Sky lab and Circular   - Lab test page skylab
skylab adds skies to photo + objects in sky
Circular creates little planet






Littlestar IOS    FREE AR app and cardboard and channels 
2018.07.14   
2018.10  - good channel lots of view



Cardboard Camera 2018.07.14 downloaded and enjoyed the quick glance and drafted a labtest page Pano


Insta Toon  2018.07.14  downloaded, paid for upgrade awesome effects .. no 2x1 so I emailed app author  otherwise so good features to compare to ToonCamera
                           2018.09.20 very exciting filters but not 2x1 so cant use for 360 .. email app author again




ToonCamera 2018.07.14 ratio 2x1 yes output resolution - original size     video output 1336   website
  2018.09.18 enjoying tests with this app - many variables 




Colour Pop IOS   2018.07.14    ratio 2x1  output original res   1st glance looks easy to drive about $5 to buy off ads and watermark 
                                                        2018.09 20 fbk post flat and spherical input 4096 output 4096  - will create lab test page called ? to compare to similar apps





Nception  2018.09.20  IOS
crazy 

2018.10 trying to find time to test on 2D busy work and tour work  - so bad luck lol









Best value

nb: dedicated apps can handle this see details this page




Photos
Minimum

Videos
Minimum

2. Resolution min 2k but ideally 4k  (360 spherical wraps into a sphere 4k becomes 2k)



Inject Metadata into the output file

I enjoyed working / collaborating with various app hosts that show enthusiasm to develop and mod their apps to support the 360 community


most recent
