360°
Look around from one spot
A 360° panorama wraps a view around a fixed camera position. You can turn your head or drag the image, but the viewpoint stays in place.
Spatial photography
The Picture Holds Still. You Don't.
6dof.photos captures real places and objects so you can move through them in three dimensions — step closer, lean around a corner, crouch down. Not just a view to look at, but a space to move through.
The useful distinction
What Is 6DoF, Really?
6DoF stands for six degrees of freedom — the six independent ways you can move through space. Three are position: left–right, up–down, forward–back. Three are rotation: tilting your head up and down, turning it side to side, leaning it left and right.
A normal 360° photo only gives you half of that. You're standing on one fixed point and can look around — that's rotation, three degrees of freedom. Step forward, though, and nothing changes: whatever would now be in front of you was simply never captured.
A 6DoF photo is built differently. Instead of one viewpoint, it holds a full spatial record of the scene, so when you move, the image moves correctly with you: the foreground shifts against the background the way it would in real life (parallax), stepping sideways reveals what was hidden behind an object, and crouching drops the whole perspective down with you.
6DoF
Move through the scene
Depth-aware imagery lets you lean, step, rise and shift sideways. Nearby objects reveal a little more of their sides as your position changes.
What makes this possible today is multi-image capture combined with 3D reconstruction: photogrammetry calculates a 3D model from many overlapping photos of the same subject, and, increasingly, Gaussian splatting reconstructs the scene as a cloud of millions of soft 3D points that render in real time with striking realism. The result is most immersive in a VR or AR headset with positional tracking — but it's already interactive on an ordinary screen, just by dragging or panning.
Where it helps
Give people a reason to look closer.
Use spatial photography when context, proportion and detail matter as much as the first impression.
01
Real Estate
Prospective buyers or tenants can walk through a listing before ever visiting in person — from the entryway to the kitchen, out onto the balcony, checking the view from the actual window. It's a far more honest, immersive preview than photos or a flat 360° tour, and it shortens the path from listing to decision.
02
Culture & Museums
A single fragile artifact or an entire exhibition hall can be captured once and explored indefinitely — up close, from angles a rope barrier would never allow. Institutions extend access beyond opening hours and physical distance, for education, archiving, and audiences who can't visit in person.
03
Industry & Training
Complex machinery, production lines, or hazardous environments become explorable without shutting down operations or putting anyone at risk. People can move around real equipment at their own pace, from angles a photo or a manual never could — content that plugs directly into VR-based training.
04
Events
A keynote stage, a trade show booth, or a product launch can be preserved as more than a flat photo gallery — attendees, and everyone who missed the event, can walk the space afterwards. It becomes a lasting, explorable record, instead of a folder of angles nobody quite remembers taking.
