How to Capture a 360° Exterior Photo of an adidas Store ?

This guide explains how to capture a 360° photo of the exterior of an adidas store, which can then be integrated into your virtual tour.

Position the Camera
- If you are using Ricoh Theta Z1 place your camera outside the store in a location that provides a clear view of the exterior.
- If you are using an iPad, position yourself outside the store in a location that provides a clear view of the exterior.
Open the Matterport Capture App
- Launch the Matterport Capture app on your tablet or device connected to the camera.
- Navigate to the Settings or Options menu.
Select 360° Capture
- In the settings, choose the 360° Capture option.
- Note: This is different from standard 3D scanning, as you are only capturing a panoramic image.
Move Out of View
- If you are using Theta camera, step away from the camera to ensure you are not in the shot.
- If you are using an iPad just carry on capturing as usual.
Capture the 360° Photo
- Tap the Capture button in the app to begin taking the 360° photo.
Preview the 360° Image
- Once the capture is complete, check the preview on your device.
- You can find the captured 360° photo by tapping the icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the app.
Place the 360° Photo on the Map
- In the top right corner, click Place on Map to position the 360° icon on your floor plan.
- Drag and drop the icon approximately where you took the photo. Precision is helpful, but the placement does not need to be exact.
Align the View
- Use the preview to confirm the orientation of the 360° image.
- Ensure it is facing the correct direction — for example, showing the adidas entrance — so viewers in the tour see the proper perspective when they click the icon.
Final Check
- Verify the 360° placement on the map and the image preview one last time.
- Adjust if needed to provide the best user experience.
