TOKYO, November 10, 2020 – Ricoh today announced the industry’s only complete and affordable 360-degree image data service, rebranded as “RICOH360.” The service brings various workplaces greater efficiency. As part of the rebranding strategy, Ricoh applied its own AI-based 360-degree image enhancement technology into “RICOH360 Tours” – launched in July – to achieve a high-quality image using an automated process.
Ricoh’s AI-based image enhancement technology used in “RICOH360 Tours” provides users, for example, in the real estate sector, with a technology ecosystem that can create and deliver content automatically that is both visually appealing to the viewer and provides an accurate representation without the need to visit the property physically.
Ricoh also introduced a new “RICOH360 Projects”1 service for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry that provides efficient visual updates of project sites so various stakeholders, including those remote, can observe sites from any angle using spherical images.
“RICOH360” will continue to support worker’s creativity through business service that efficiently digitalizes information utilizing 360-degree image data and the latest AI-based image enhancement technology.
