As technology advances, more and more businesses are discovering new and innovative ways to use it for their benefit. One such business is the field of photogrammetry. What is photogrammetry, you ask? Simply put, it is the art and science of making measurements from photographs. It is a technique that has been around for centuries, but with the advancement of technology, its uses are becoming more varied and widespread than ever before. So, what is its history, and what are some things that photogrammetry can be used for? Let’s take a closer look.

The History of Photogrammetry
If there’s one thing we can say about our tech advancements, it’s that it has significantly changed audio-visual media. Where a mere two decades ago, our media experiences consisted of sitting in front of a television set or radio. We consumed our content through one channel at a scheduled time. Fast-forward to today, we have virtually everything we want, when we want it. This has resulted in an influx of information and media being thrown at consumers. Now, creating an impactful media experience is a constant challenge, as there’s a perpetually rising bar driven by fast-paced change and the need to stay relevant. On the cutting edge of these technological advancements in media are 360 video projections, also known as spherical projections. This refers to the projection of imagery or video in a manner that surrounds the audience, invoking the feeling of being immersed in the media. This includes 360 projection-mapped rooms, projections on irregularly shaped objects or spaces, and spherically shaped projection domes . For those who are serious about making their messaging memorable, spherical projections on a 360-degree projection screen are the standout means in a world surrounded by screens. Let’s look over the basics of video projection.
