Scale and distance

Virtual reality allows for amazing immersion of your audience. More so, it allows for manipulating your users' sense of scale.

Staring in the vastness of space, being in a shop, or being an ant in a machine - it's all possible.

AIFE uses a number of tricks to convey the scale of a scene in a believable (or unbelievable) way.

AIFE even allows for limited 6-degrees of freedom movement. This allows your audience to appreciate the scene from different angles.

Believable 360 image projection becomes harder the closer objects are to the camera, as depth is not conveyed accurately. Distortions as a result of projecting the image on a sphere can become immersion-breaking if not managed properly.

Therefore, for best results, try using 360 photography that is as far away as possible from all significant objects in a scene.

To mitigate distortion and accomplish your intended sense of immersion and scale, you can specify 4 types of 360 images in the image options dialog.
