Ricoh announced that it is expanding the global rollout of RICOH360 THETA A1. As part of this move, it has begun offering the product in the United States, Canada and Australia, while expanding purchase channels and sales options in the existing markets of Japan and Europe. This will support the adoption of digital workflows in the field, including construction, infrastructure and facility management.
The device features a design built to withstand field environments, rapid startup and shutter operation, and post-capture data integration. It allows the recording and sharing of 360-degree video in the field to be easily integrated with existing business applications and systems. It can also capture temperature conditions and landscape information and record location data using GPS and an electronic compass, streamlining the sharing of information from the field.
As the use of 360-degree video expands, Ricoh says it will promote the adoption of field-oriented digital workflows by offering more flexible purchase and deployment options. The company is emphasizing features that support reliable visual records and information sharing in the field, and intends to help customers improve operating efficiency.
