360 Spins and PhotoSpherix through the years
1995
The Beginning - Object VR
Apple created the ObjectVR format within their new Quicktime video player
1999
We created our first product rotator
We had a client that needed a rotating product shot for use in a trade show video. Without finding a better source, we created our own rotator to create the final photography.

Apple creates Quicktime VR Authoring Studio
Once Apple created the QTVR Authoring Suite, many new companies became able to create great 360 photography, not just Apple employees.
2002
We added multi-row functionality to our 360 viewer
We started being able to not just rotate a product, but make it tilt up and down as well.
2002
2004
We created our first Flash based 360 Product Viewer
Once Flash was included in browser installations, we started distributing our 360-degree photography using this new technology. This was the start of bringing 360 views to the mainstream.
2004
We created or first multi-row rig
Although we had made a 3d spin view in the past, we finally built a multi-row rig that made it possible to view from the North Pole to the South Pole.
2004
2005
We stepped out on our own.
For years, PhotoSpherix had been working under the shingle of our parent company, finally we decided we needed our own space and our own name.
2005
We created or first multi-row 360 product viewer
Finally we needed a full multi-row viewer that did not use Apples technology. We had the ground work in our Flash player, we just needed to add a few lines of code, and a few rows of images.
2005
2008
We stopped developing our 360 viewer
Times and technology changed, and so did we. With flashing falling out of preference, and better options available in the world, PhotoSpherix stopped development on our viewer and dedicated all of our time in the studio.

Overstock.com added 360 product photography

First on location 360 photography shoot
Finally we had a 360 photography rig that we could take on location to our customers offices.
2010
We created our first LARGE rotation platform
4ft by 4ft by 8ft just wasn’t good enough. We needed a rig that could shoot whole rooms of furniture.
2010
2010
We made our large platform mobile
Once you make one, now you need it to be able to be moved around. With a few changes, our rig that is large enough to shoot a car, could be moved around to different locations.
2012
First T rotation
Using our multi-row rig, we created alternative paths for product rotations.
