Dubbed as the world's first "Office Photography Machine", the Photosimile 5000 is an imaging tool that provides anyone with the ability to create professional still shots and spherical flash animations for just about any purpose. It produces digital 3D copies of any product from every angle and at a very efficient speed.
Launched by Ortery Technologies, Inc., in 2008, the Photosimile 5000 now sells at a retail price of $17,000. The package consists of a studio box that houses a turntable and a Canon DSLR camera that is installed on an arc-shaped mechanical railing, allowing it to take 360-degree photos. The Photosimile 5000 studio also boasts of four daylight bulbs, giving off 6500K worth of uniform studio lighting. Its Photocapture technology ensures well-lit image with every shot.
The process of creating product shots is similar to that of using a photocopier or scanner. Simply place any object on the turntable and take up to 100 pictures at different angles in no more than 5 minutes. Taking photos for animations can be done at a rate of 20 stitched images within 2.5 minutes. Each image takes a mere five seconds in transmission to a computer, attached via USB. The user is allowed access to camera and image editing controls such as zooming in and out, resizing, and cropping. All images are received via the Photosimile software and may be saved as GIF or Flash files. Annotations and batch processing are also possible options. The software currently works only with Windows platforms.
With the advent of this technology, creating visually enticing advertisement campaigns, both print and online will be much easier and with exceptional quality. Ortery's current customers include some of the biggest names in electronics, food and beverage, as well as prominent educational institutions and government agencies. In a testimonial for the Photosimile brand, the Smithsonian Institution indicated the product's significance in easily putting together a high-quality, multimedia archaeological database with more than 20,000 images in total.
Sam Shearer, Managing Director of Ortery, claims that 360-degree product views will soon be the benchmark for success in eCommerce. True enough, the product has become a bestseller among the eBay population. Photosimile 5000 not only makes the creation of great product shots simple, but also features an "auction" button designed to customize images for eBay use.
Ortery is located in Irvine, California. Since its establishment in 2003, it has become the expert in designing and manufacturing photography automation machines. To date, about 15 percent of Ortery's business is derived from companies on eBay. Technical support for the Photosimile 5000 and other company products is offered for free.
