The MIT.nano Immersion Lab space, itself, is ideal for creating content—artistic, educational, or illustrative. The Immersion Lab offers a variety of tools and accessories to assist with photography, video production and editing, and 360° content. Some of these tools can also be used outside the Lab.
Ricoh Theta V & Ricoh Theta Z1 360° Cameras
The Ricoh Theta 360-degree cameras can shoot photos and videos of an entire space with a single push of a button. Capabilities of this camera include:
- Recording of natural 360° images using still image shooting and highly accurate image stitching;
- Superior noise reduction performance;
- A lens unit that reduces ghosting, flare, and purple fringe;
- 360° live streaming in 4K;
- Four microphones built into the camera to independently record sound from 4 different directions when shooting video.
The MIT.nano Immersion Lab also has several monopods that pair with the 360° cameras.
Azure Kinect DK
The Microsoft Azure Kinect DK is a spatial computing development kit featuring AI sensors and vision and speech models. The compact hardware design integrates a 12-MP RGB camera, 1-MP depth sensor with wide and narrow field-of-view options, 7-microphone array for far-field speech and sound capture, and accelerometer and gyroscope (IMU) for sensor orientation and spatial tracking. Used in volumetric capture workflows, multiple Kinects can be synchronized to allow users to create interactive virtual reality experiences in real-time.
