Abstract: An environmental capture system (ECS) captures image data and depth information in a 360-degree scene. The captured image data and depth information can be used to generate a 360-degree scene. The ECS comprises a frame, a drive train mounted to the frame, and an image capture device coupled to the drive train to capture, while pointed in a first direction, a plurality of images at different exposures in a first field of view (FOV) of the 360-degree scene. The ECS further comprises a depth information capture device coupled to the drive train. The depth information capture device and the image capture device are rotated by the drive train about a first, substantially vertical, axis from the first direction to a second direction. The depth information capture device, while being rotated from the first direction to the second direction, captures depth information for a first portion of the 360-degree scene.
