360 Camera Test Drive / by PLATTE

So we eagerly cracked open our newest office toy, err... tool- the Ricoh Theta S 360 camera.  After playing around with it in the office, we were finally ready to test it out documenting one of our latest projects- the Stafford Project.

Here are some of the best shots (click on the image to view full screen on their website):

It extends almost 5 feet to allow you to poke around spaces we normally can't document. 

It's also just a lot of fun and creates some great views.
