Using the 360 Camera in the Albi Mobile App (Overview & Setup)
The 360 Camera feature allows you to capture immersive, panoramic photos directly from supported 360 cameras and upload them to a project. These images can be viewed on both mobile and web, making it easy to document spaces in full detail.

The 360 Camera feature works with Ricoh Theta cameras.
Supported Models
- Ricoh Theta X (fully tested and recommended)
- Other Models do work but have not been tested
Additional Models
Some older Ricoh Theta models (such as Z1, V, and S) may work based on manufacturer documentation, but they have not been officially tested.
