VISITORS to ECU Joondalup’s open day on Sunday, July 17 are being promised a fresh angle on higher education and themselves.
They can get a profile picture taken in the 180 degree video booth.
The booth uses 36 synchronised DSLR cameras, triggered at the same time, to capture a person’s pose resulting in The Matrix ‘bullet time’ effect that gives the impression of a 3D picture.
