Getty’s New Virtual Reality Group Offers 12,000 360 Images Straight Away
Getty has this week announced the formation of a brand new VR division rather elaborately named The Getty Images Virtual Reality Group. The team offers over 12,000 “premium 360 images” from the off, capturing important events and scenes. For example, the company will be heading to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro with a 360 camera so that others can purchase their images for use.
You can see some of the company’s 360 degree work on a new site dedicated to the group. It goes beyond just static photos, also offering 360 degree video (in the given example powered by Visualise) and its high resolution ‘gigapixel’ images that don’t offer a full 360 degree view but boast much higher clarity for what is captured.
