I blend my passion for photography with technical expertise in real-time building modelling to create seamless 360° experiences. By capturing key points of interest and navigation meshes, I ensure accurate alignment, allowing stakeholders to explore spaces effortlessly before they are built.
Project Overview:
This project focused on capturing and showcasing internal and external spaces through 360° imagery, enhancing stakeholder engagement. Using a mix of real-world capture with the Insta360 Pro and pre-visualisation via equirectangular rendering, I provided immersive walkthroughs of both existing and planned environments. These experiences were integrated into platforms like SharePoint Spaces and Google Maps to create accessible, interactive previews.
For stakeholders requiring fast and lightweight solutions, this approach offers an efficient way to communicate spatial concepts while maintaining a strong sense of presence. The format is widely deployable across devices and platforms, making it an effective tool for engagement. I expanded these visualisations with key points of interest and feature-rich content, allowing for deeper exploration of spaces. This method has yielded a variety of positive outcomes with strong reception from both the community and stakeholders.
My Role:
I led the end-to-end 360° capture and visualisation process, drawing from my expertise in photography and real-time 3D modelling. I ensured alignment by mapping 360° points of interest and navigation meshes, allowing users to intuitively navigate virtual spaces. My work covered everything from hardware setup and Photoshop post-processing to integrating the final outputs into stakeholder platforms.
Scope:
- 360° Capture & Processing – Using Insta360 Pro and Photoshop for refinement
- Pre-Construction Visualisation – Creating equirectangular renders to preview spaces before construction
