Although photos and videos will never fully replace the experience of being somewhere in person, <a href=\"https:\/\/luna.camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Luna, a new 360-degree camera<\/a>, promises to bring users one step closer to the real life experience by providing them with panoramic photos and videos. <\/p>\n<p>With its unique dual-fisheye-lens design, Luna is a great marketing tool for real estate professionals that want to give customers a 360\u00b0 virtual home tour. The spherical camera is about the size of a golf ball, just six centimeters in diameter and a little over 180 grams. Users just click the top of Luna one time to take a panoramic 360\u00b0 photograph, two times to take a video, or hold down the button to shut off the camera completely. <\/p>\n<p>The camera uses intelligent auto-stitching software, so images are automatically created in the panoramic view and users need not bother with the hassle of other stitching programs. <\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5k7swlOhYTY?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There are few places that can\u2019t be captured by Luna\u2019s unique camera, especially with it\u2019s host of accessories that make it possible to fly Luna on a drone or attach it to a fishing rod. With its waterproof enclosure, agents can use Luna to show customers the bottom tiling of a swim pool, or create a video of the property grounds despite the drizzling rain. And, with Luna attached to a flying drone, why not take a closer look at the roofing?<\/p>\n<p>Luna\u2019s convenient size and easy-use features make it possible for agents to take and operate the camera almost anywhere. And with a whole host of accessories, the exploration opportunities are virtually endless.<\/p>\n<p>From a marketing perspective, perhaps Luna\u2019s best quality is its ability to stream 360\u00b0 content live over the Internet. Consumers can watch on their phone or device as their agent gives them a live preview, or they can take independent control over the camera and decide where to look.  This feature allows customers to explore interactively with a unique 360\u00b0 view, as if walking through the house on their own. <\/p>\n<p>it promises to be a great device for real estate agents looking to bring their remote consumers one step closer to a real walk through experience. The unique 360\u00b0 photos and video can be used to create interest in their properties online, and hopefully convince potential homebuyers to take a live-streaming virtual tour. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(TECH) Virtual tours just got awesome.
