# Rotating 3D Photo Booths Google Cloud Spin is a Photo Booth That Captures Images from 180-Degrees By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-10-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-spin References: [cloudplatform.googleblog](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2015/09/Cloud-Spin-Part-1-180-degree-animations-on-Google-Cloud-Platform.html) & [medium](https://medium.com/google-cloud/everything-you-need-to-know-about-cloud-spin-1bcce3dbc484) Instead of another ordinary tech demo, [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-9) sought out to make a more fun and interactive experience for the Google Cloud Platform by creating a rotating photo booth called Cloud Spin. Not only is the new demo fun and interactive, but it is also widely accessible to those at home thanks to the use of [open-source software](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headshotsfun) and off-the-self components. The idea behind Cloud Spin was born out of a desire to create a photo booth that would be more engaging to use and more challenging to create. As a result, the Google team decided to build a photo booth that rotates images through 180 degrees. By capturing images from multiple angles, the photo booth produces a eye-catching three-dimensional effect. The images can then be knitted together to create [animated GIFs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-cube) of memorable moments. For those interested in building their own Cloud Spin photo both, the full list of instructions is available online from Google. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Rotating Photo Booths:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of rotating photo booths to create unique and engaging experiences for events and parties. - **Interactive Photo Experiences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop interactive photo booths that capture images from different angles, creating a three-dimensional effect to enhance user engagement. - **Open-source Photo Booths:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design open-source photo booth software and hardware components to make photo booth technology more accessible for DIY projects and customization. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate rotating photo booths into event planning services to offer unique and immersive photo experiences for clients. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with entertainment companies to develop rotating photo booths that enhance interactive attractions and experiences. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with technology companies to advance the development of rotating photo booth hardware and software for widespread adoption and customization. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [Quad-Lens GIF Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-3d-camera.md) - [Digital Photo Booth Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-photo-booth-experiences.md) - [Revived Modular Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Instant 3D Captures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneshot.md) - [Multi-Lens Capture Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-walker-multi-cam.md) - [External Photo-Taking Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-9.md) - [Desktop GIF Displayers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-cube.md)
