Frame (spin)

Also known as spin frame. Category: 360, 3D and output formats

In a 360 spin, a frame is a single image captured at one angle of rotation. A typical spin has 24 to 60 frames at evenly spaced angles, such as every 15° for 24 frames.

How PhotoRobot uses it

Each frame of a PhotoRobot spin holds the photograph and can carry OCR data and hotspot settings. Not to be confused with the FRAME robot.

  • 360 spin: An interactive sequence of images of a rotating product that the viewer can turn with the mouse or a finger.
  • Hotspot: A clickable point on a product image or spin that opens a detail image, zoom or annotation.
  • FRAME: PhotoRobot all-in-one machine combining a glass-plate turntable with a robotic camera arm, built for 3D modeling.
