Main Page 

Once connected, on the main page, you can Sign In, Shoot directly pressing the Ricoh Theta  or ask for Support. 

Sign In

Connect the App to your Urbanimmersive Account. By logging into your Account, you can manage all your projects on site. Once finishing shooting, your project will be sent directly to our post-production team. You will then receive your immersive 3D tour sooner. You do not have to wait until you are home to process your images. 

Manage your projects 

Once connected to your Urbanimmersive Account, you will be able to manage your projects directly inside the App. You can either choose an older project or create a new one using the ''+'' icon. 

Capture Preview 

You can display the preview of the pano you are taking by pressing Preview

Capture 

Place your camera in the room, hide, and press on the camera icon. The capture will start. Repeat the process for every shoot. For the following shoot, the app will automatically place the pano in the environment. 

If the system doesn't recognize the pano, you will see a pop-up window for manual alignment. To be more efficient, you do not have to wait until the panorama is captured to place it in the scene. While the camera is in action, you can align the panorama manually directly on your device.  

Photographers will certainly gain more time using that tip.

• Manual alignment: you can press on your screen to place the pano where it belongs.

Rotating Image 

You can now rotate a panorama with the “rotate” button. It will add 15 degrees every time it’s pressed. 15 degrees = 24 clicks to make a full 360 rotation. 

Manage your Floors

When your floor is done, you can move it to the next one and create a New Floor. Press on the "+" sign and name it. 

Create Notes

Enter the name of the room or the measurements directly inside your space.

Discard your pictures

Sometimes, your pictures will be too overexposed or underexposed. The deleted picture will be automatically removed from your camera.

Pictures Download 

When your project is finished, you can either create an archive or process your images directly into your Account. In the case you want to send your project directly to our post-production team, you will need to have enough credits in your Urbanimmersive Account. When ready, select the tour (that needs to be created before the upload), the type of project (residential or commercial), and order the Floor plan if needed. If you do not have enough credits, you will receive an email letting you know to purchase more credits in your Account. As soon as you have enough credits in your account, the tour will be automatically sent to our team. Once the 3D tour is complete, you will receive a notification email. 

Uploading Images Again After Processed 

If you have multiple photographers shooting a tour or you need to process more images again you can upload to the same tour, click upload to continue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the images go? You can archive it on your device or send it directly to your Urbanimmersive Account. 

Can I edit the brackets if I archive the images? The app is using a built-in HDR rendering shooting mode. Which will take 4 brackets. You can archive and edit the final images, but you don't have access to the brackets.

Do I lose everything if my screen saver goes on? No, you will not lose everything. It can cause an error message to appear but will not affect the end results.

Can I exit and re-enter the app while the Theta is busy capturing? Yes, you can exit and re-enter the app, but make sure to get the first capture at 20%. It will hang up until you return to the app.

I'm not able to connect my camera to the app, what can I do?  Reset the camera by holding the POWER + WIFI button at the same time.

I am sensing that I have troubles connecting the Camera to my device or the Ui Capture App is not working properly.  Make sure you are using the latest version of the Ui Capture App. Use the current version 2.1.2 Ui Capture on Apple and version 2.1.2 Ui Capture on Andriod. 

Why am I getting the error COULD NOT COMPLETE CAPTURE something went wrong while capturing the panorama. Could not set setting? You will need to double-check that your camera's settings are not set to raw. If so, please set them to jpg.
