Sprayscape, A ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ Virtual Reality Camera App
Sprayscape is a “perfectly imperfect” virtual reality camera app that lets users photograph the world around them with their smartphone onto a virtual 360° sphere that can be viewed in virtual reality.
Sprayscape is a quick hack using the phone’s gyroscope to take pictures on the inside of a 360-degree sphere. Just point your phone and tap the screen to spray faces, places, or anything else onto your canvas. Like what you’ve captured? Share your creations via a link and your friends can jump into your scapes and have a look around using their phones or even Google Cardboard.
The app is a project of Android Experiments, and it was built with Unity and the Cardboard SDK. Sprayscape is available now in the Google Play store.
