Surround360 is a hardware and software system for capturing and rendering 3D (stereo) 360 videos and photos, suitable for viewing in VR. We divide the open source components of the system into three subdirectories:
- /surround360_design -- hardware designs and assembly instructions
- /surround360_camera_ctl -- software for controlling the camera to capture raw data
- /surround360_render -- software for rendering the raw data that is captured into a format suitable for viewing in VR.
Please refer to our instruction manual (which covers use of both hardware and software) here:
We provide a sample dataset for those who are interested in testing the rendering software without first building a camera.

The hardware designs, camera control software, and rendering software are subject to different licenses. Please refer to the LICENSE file in each subdirectory. We also provide an additional patent grant.
