Psychedelic photos in virtual reality: here’s Google Sprayscape

The new app, available only on Android, allows you to make creative and spherical collages to share and review with the help of Cardboard

Virtual reality is becoming the new obsession of Google, and not only. The U.S. company has announced, in fact, the launch of the new app Sprayscape to create photos and collages at 360° directly from the camera of your smartphone. At the moment, the app is only available for Android.

How Sprayscape works. Google’s new app is a mix between creating almost artistic and other dizzying photos. In fact, the app accesses the phone’s gyroscope and allows us to “spray” the segment of virtual reality we’re interested in as we swipe our smartphone. Possiamo selezionare solo i dettagli che più ci piacciono cliccando sulla fotocamera e poi lasciar creare all’applicazione uno stravagante e psichedelico collage. Oppure possiamo riprendere un punto da una sola prospettiva sferica e seguirla. Come viene dimostrato anche dal video lancio dell’app caricato su YouTube. Ovviamente poi ogni creazione si può condividere con gli altri.

Creazioni con Google Sprayscape

Ovviamente dopo la realizzazione e la condivisione la parte più interessante di Sprayscape è vedere il collage e le foto su un visore come Google Cardboard, per godere al massimo dell’effetto a 360°. Infatti anche se noi scattiamo, o per meglio dire “spruzziamo”, in forma piatta poi sarà possibile immergerci nelle nostre creazioni, attraverso l’app, in realtà virtuale. Otherwise you can scroll or tilt the image directly from our smartphone, to see it in its entirety. Sprayscape is already available on Google Play Store, and its download is free. And like several of the projects it creates and experiments with for Android, Google has also released the code of the application for passionate developers. The code can, in fact, be downloaded on the GitHub site.
