Depthmaps are images where the pixel color defines the distance (or 'depth') of a certain surface. These files are used by computers to give a 3D effect to your scene photos and can be generated by some 360 cameras during capturing or by using software tools during post-processing.
Coming next:
Depthmaps enable immersive VR experiences by creating stereoscopic viewing and depth perception in a scene.
Expanded movement possibility - We call this "6 degrees of freedom." Instead of simply rotating around a scene, you can now do translations forward, backward, left, and right (controls coming soon).
Measurements - lays the foundation for measurement tools on a scene.
And more!
HOW DO YOU UPLOAD A DEPTHMAP?
You can add Depthmaps one-by-one to any previously uploaded scene at any time. To associate Depthmaps automatically to a scene during uploading, match the filenames of your scene image and depth map, and then simply add “_depth” to your Depthmap file name.
For example: “Kitchen.jpg” for a scene name and “Kitchen_depth.jpg” for its automatically associated Depthmap.
