Object Centering
Tool
This new editing feature ensures that still images capture in a sequence are centered before export. It can be applied to individual images or to a batch.
Object Height Auto-Tilt
This allows customers to simply input a product’s height and the machine will automatically tilt the camera to track the vertical center of the product when capturing a sequence of images where the camera moves up and over the product.

It works like this, use an Ortery machine to capture something (a video, picture, 360 or 3D animation) and automatically save it to Ortery’s cloud. Within seconds a unique QR code is generated. Scan the code with a cell phone to immediately share it with anyone or any app on the phone. Recipients will be able to view and interact with the results. Ideal for visual review, business communication, and making decisions.

Making Automated 360, and 3D a Reality
Creating 360 and 3D animations or a 360 video with an Ortery 360 system puts the user in the driver’s seat to creativity. Every aspect of how the product will be displayed can be controlled and repeated for speed.
Capture Speed and Workflow: Whether it's hardware upgrades or workflow tweaks, we are constantly working on how to make the creation of 360 and 3D animations faster and easier.
Multiple Camera Control: The ability to control and fire multiple cameras at the same time dramatically increases the capture speed of 3D product photography. It also allows for automation where multiple angles are to be captured at once or in a fixed sequence.
HTML5 Profiles: These profiles are used to define the look and feel and the interactive characteristics (spin type, spin speed, magnification, button style, load style, social media options, etc.) of a 360 or 3D animation. The combination of display options are almost endless.
Website Integration: Ortery has created a complete environment around the creation, hosting and viewing of HTML5 animations. Users can save animations directly to the cloud ( www.saasphoto.com ) and Ortery provides a free implementation guide as well as plug-ins for displaying 360 content on the main eCommerce platforms.
Interactive Animation Size and Storage: Ortery has optimized 360 animations from both a storage and distribution perspective, especially for mobile viewing. 360 and 3D output are fully responsive and optimized for speed.
Interactive Video: While most videos are simply watched, this type of video allows the user to play with and manipulate the view.

Turn series of JPGs into MP4 or MOV files to make your point.
