We all love to create photorealistic images, but we also love to take photos. We love to capture moments and even more, capture the entire experience. A still photograph doesn’t quite get there and even a video only provides an isolated viewport of the entire setting. Tamaggo has set forth to change that, bringing a completely new way to capture the entire experience. Their product, the ibi 360, is a device that takes completely panoramic pictures with one click. At the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it was heralded as one of the most revolutionary products of the year. Since then, they’ve announced availability, released an iPhone app and added the ability to take full 360 interactive video. We talked with Stephane LePage, CTO of Tamaggo, about the innovative design and how KeyShot was used to create their visuals.

tamaggo Inc.是一家消費技術公司，正在開發IBI360，這是第一款具有完全集成的內置360度全景技術的消費類視頻和圖像拍攝設備，使用戶只需按一下即可捕獲可導航的圖像。該公司由法國思想家兼企業家讓-克勞德·阿爾托內（Jean-Claude Artonne）創立，他是全球成像專利的作者。作為 ImmerVision 的創始人，Artonne 先生幫助推進了 360 度成像技術，該公司授權光學和軟體全景技術。Artonne 先生在企業對企業領域取得成功后，他決定創建一家企業，以可承受的價格將先進的成像技術送到消費者手中。

從ibi 360的形狀來看，你可以看到如何重新思考捕獲圖像，即“形式遵循功能”的產品開發方法。有了這個，每個學科和每個參與其中的人都共同努力，將這個想法結合在一起。“設計和工程必須協同工作，才能實現我們想要的高品質產品。”Stephane解釋說：「非常規的外形尺寸對電子和機械封裝來說是一個巨大的挑戰。它的形狀非常簡單，但要實現這樣的簡單性，實際上非常複雜。我們創建了非常乾淨的表面，使用 PTC Creo 創建了我們想要的形狀。

For most of the development, Tamaggo used another high end rendering software, but soon began actively searching for a solution that wouldn’t require massive hours of setup and rendering times. “KeyShot was the perfect answer for us. Seamlessly import from PTC Creo, interactive material application and quick rendering is a dream come true for us. It allowed us to quickly render concepts and use this to forward the design work. KeyShot is a dramatic improvement in our workflow. Basically, it has brought back rendering as a useful tool for design, on top of being extremely efficient to present realistic visuals to non-technical people.”
