Simply Beyond Human Vision
Our cutting-edge technology enables us to capture unparalleled 360° images of the highest quality and resolution. We offer tailored resolutions ranging from megapixels to gigapixels. We capture ground 360° images both indoors and outdoors. High Dynamic Range comes as a standard for all our 360° images. We also specialize in capturing in extreme low light conditions with very low or even no ambient light.
The bird´s-eye view is simply the best way to get a global overview of your site. SimpleVis offers high-resolution aerial 360° images and orthophotos, either one of which is an essential starting point for most site-wide virtual tours. Our aerial services also include supplementary videos and individual photos.
Whether your primary application is training, facility management, or something else, SimpleVis can build a virtual tour with interactive features and embedded multimedia. Thanks to its versatile and compatible HTML format, our virtual tours can be accessed from different devices and platforms as well as integrated into existing systems. Additionally, our 360° images are supported by the VR experience.
In addition to capturing 360° images, SimpleVis provides comprehensive Training Consultancy services. We are dedicated to supporting you in the integration of 360° images and virtual plant tours in the training of your staff and contractors. This may include, for example, demo lessons, lesson plans and training material integration. Furthermore, we provide a full range of training consultancy services, especially for hazardous and highly regulated industries such as nuclear, oil & gas, and chemical. We strive for simplification through easy-to-understand visualizations and explanatory graphics.
At SimpleVis, we offer 360° imaging consultancy services and we are happy to share our extensive know-how. Whether you are interested in adopting high-quality 360° image capture for your in-house needs, or if you have already acquired a 360° camera and need assistance to effectively process and publish 360° images, we can help. This is also an option for companies that seek to enhance the visual element of their existing reality capture solution.
This first and fundamental example demonstrates the high resolution and quality of SimpleVis 360° imaging by comparing resolutions obtained by different means. Try out the level of detail in images ranging from 18Mpx (eq 17px/deg) to
2353Mpx (eq 191px/deg).
* The accuracy of human foveal vision is usually described as around 60px/deg.
360° images can have different resolutions in different regions. There are always areas of our interest where the smallest details matter. The exclusive solution developed by SimpleVis to capture high-complexity workplaces like control centers. As well as unprecedented capture solutions for heritage sites. Try yourself this unbelievable level of detail.
Examine and present the evolution of your site in an unlimited number of perfectly aligned 360° images. Choose from Side-by-Side, Overlap, or Split-Screen user controls. Available for both ground and aerial* imaging. Precise alignment also enables quick and easy updates of your Virtual Tour images.
* This demo is intentionally an aerial image since the alignment of aerial images is not trivial.
Experience an unparalleled level of detail in this virtual tour of a robotics lab, composed of 1553Mpx 360° images and showcasing a few basic examples of interactivity. This example demonstrates the possibilities for high-resolution virtual tours in training and education.

Cut through the darkness with SimpleVis´ exclusive lighting solution. Captured in total darkness, this 1548Mpx image is just one example of our technology´s ability to illuminate even the darkest corners of your plant, underground structures, the interior of large process equipment, or any other area with no available lighting.
* VR supported
This is an example of how two or more synchronized 360° images can give you a clear understanding of the configuration of your facility at different points in time. It allows you to see what´s inside the walls, providing a whole new perspective.
Similar to aerial 360° images, orthophotos provide a global overview of your site but in this case in an orthographic view.
Low light conditions are limiting for the majority of commercially available 360° cameras. Discover in this demo night 360° photo how a high contrast scene can be successful. This is a 435Mpx image captured at night illuminated by street lights. It also demonstrates SimpleVis´ outdoor 360° imaging capabilities.

Contemporary standard company IT systems and equipment (incl. laptops and mobile devices) are suitable for browsing SimpleVis-produced content. We deliver the content in HTML5 format unless otherwise agreed. This can be easily browsed across different devices and operating systems using a regular web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.).
The preferred way of storing the delivered files is on client´s internal or public web server (suitable for a large number of users, easy to update thanks to single sourcing). Our delivery can also be in form of a standalone app - suitable for small businesses and individuals or where high information security is required (also a suitable solution for offline devices). In some cases it may be possible to host the content on our web servers. Across our processes, we do not use any proprietary platform and hence there are no monthly subscriptions nor other recurring fees. Once the content is delivered it is only client´s decision how to use and distribute it - with no limitations.
The size of the final data package is approximately 300MB for each 1000Mpx (1Gpx) of resolution. So for example a set of 20 images at 1,5Gpx resolution each, will require approximately 9GB of storage.
(just for your interest, the amount of raw captured data is approximately 30x more than that and the amount of data during image processing is approximately 500x more than the size of the final data package - but you don´t need to worry about these numbers at all, that´s a one time process that SimpleVis does for you.)
Browsing speed is dependent on the used IT server components and available bandwidth. Check out our examples in the Demo section where you can experience what the typical response rate and browsing speed is. Considering the contemporary IT equipment, the loading will not take more than loading of your favorite news website. The speed of browsing is not dependent on the number of images nor on their resolution.
SimpleVis operates in the English language, but the content can always be localized to the client´s preferred language, such as in textboxes used in Virtual Tours. We do not have strict borders for our business area. While our main operating area is Finland, Nordic countries, and Europe, we are open to collaborating globally.
SimpleVis uses no proprietary software solutions. We are equipped to handle the information security requirements of individual clients, particularly those in heavily regulated industries. We never use cloud storage or cloud processing. All storage and processing is done on local workstations secured with latest F-Secure protection. For the highest level of information security, we can store and fully process all data in the client´s IT environment, ensuring that no information or memory card ever leaves the client´s premises. We have absolutely full control over all data and processing, providing image quality, flexibility, functionality, and information security.
We are accustomed to working under Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA).
We primarily control our cameras at clients´ sites via a Wi-Fi link, which is suitable for most plant areas where mobile phones, walkie-talkies, Wi-Fi, and other common communication systems are allowed. Alternatively, we can operate our equipment in full manual and local hardware button mode with all wireless communication disabled, minimizing potential Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) with plant I&C systems.
Please note that our equipment is currently not ATEX qualified for use in explosive atmospheres.
Once on-site, our automated technology allows us to capture tens of gigapixel resolution 360° images during one day shift (8-12 hours). Depending on the complexity of the site, light conditions, and difficulty of access. Capturing one single gigapixel (1000+ Mpx) resolution 360° image typically takes a few minutes.
In most cases, we deliver the final package of data to the client within a few weeks after the acquisition. In some cases it may be possible to deliver the final HTML package on the same day at the site.
Pricing is very individual. There are many factors that influence the pricing, besides the capture and processing time. It may include costs related to specific information security requirements, the presence of various hazards at the site, the need for special permits at the site, the location of the site, and the required level of post-processing (simple gallery of individual 360° images, interactive virtual tour, or other functionality, etc.)
SimpleVis is ready to offer the right image resolution for your needs. In principle, we offer 360° images with resolutions ranging from tens of megapixels to several gigapixels.
As a standard, we capture your site in a high dynamic range and use lossless image file formats during the entire sequence of image processing, with the exception of the final export into a high-quality JPEG for compatibility with fast web-based browsing.
Every plant undergoes modifications and changes, and SimpleVis is prepared for that. We offer updates on different levels of detail, depending on your specific needs. With all our clients we aim to build long-term fruitful collaboration and updates are an essential part of that.
