It’s a special applet that shows you a 360 view of any object you want, a perfect way to learn more about an item. In this case the subject is a car; and it’s a perfect example of what can be implemented, for example, on a website dedicated to selling cars. But you can see the potential for any product you may want to sell online.

The website include instructions on how to produce the 360 views, which involves creating two points which are used to align all the images, and then taking photos at 15% angles around the item on display. This should give you 20 photos, but you can take more if you want to make the animation a bit smoother. Once the photos are taken, you can log into the 3D Bin website and use the website to upload your photos and make your video. Once the animation is created, the website will give you some code you can insert anywhere you want the 360 view to be displayed. You can use it on your website, on eBay or anywhere that lets you embed your code.

The beauty of this animation is that the person viewing the website has full control of the visual experience. They can spin around the object to their heart’s content, see it from any angle and even zoom in and out to examine individual details. It’s impossible to know exactly what someone is after, but this way, they can just pick antyhing they like.

There’s a great diversity of subjects you can specialise in if you decide to further your studies in Computing. Some time back I came across a course in Gaming Technologies which had a great syllabus including Game Theory, Advanced Graphics Techniques and all sort of other interesting topics.
