The world has never seen a more rapid rate of urban renewal and changing landscapes. Whole areas and buildings are renovated, repurposed, or torn down in a span of a few decades, sometimes even in just a few years. Natural environments morph or disappear due to the effects of climate change and human activity at a brisk rate.

In the Docu360 project, we see ourselves as documentarians and archivists first, photographers second. By capturing 360° panoramas using high-quality cameras, we hope to preserve the essence of scenes around us in a comprehensive pictorial format, before it is lost to the march of time.

While initiatives like Google Streetview does the same thing, we are aiming for a more localised perspective, instead of a mapping point-of-view. And with a highly mobile setup, penetrate scenes that Streetview and other broad-based services are unable to go (yet).
