THIS APP REQUIRES A CLIP-ON FISHEYE LENS. Use theVRkit fish-eye lens to capture 360 Spherical Panoramas. You can buy it on www.theVRkit.com to produce high resolution full 360 panoramas (with floors and ceilings) to create 360 virtual tours. Built-in ultra wide lenses are indeed wide, but they only capture 2/3 of the vertical field of view and leave blind spots on top/bottom. Just clip the lens and make a full turn. Multiple images are taken, and stitched instantly on your phone, no internet connection needed. The result is amazing. theVRkit fisheye lens was specially selected for its field of view, clarity and sharpness. We have tested nearly all the lenses of the market, our lens will give you the best output. An optional electronic rotator allows for perfect captures. You can get professional quality VR images at the press of a button. Share the result on Facebook 360 or view it in VR Cardboard mode.
