Currently, 360 degree photo technology is being used to document conditions, especially hazardous conditions, at US. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities that are being closed. Traditional efforts to document the condition of rooms and cells, especially those difficult to enter due to the hazards present, using engineering drawings, documents, 'traditional flat' photographs or videos, don't provide perspective. High-resolution digital cameras, in conjunction with software techniques, make possible 360 degree photos that allow a person to look all around, up and down, and zoom in or out. The software provides the opportunity to attach other information to a 360 degree photo such as sound files providing audio information; flat photos providing additional detail or information about what is behind a panel or around a comer; and text information which can be used to show radiological conditions or identify other hazards present but not readily visible.
