"MAKE A 3DPHOTO (360º VIEW) FAST AND EASY.
IT'S FREE. GO GET YOUR CAMERA AND MAKE YOUR 3DPHOTO."

I'm sure many of you have seen those fancy 3D pictures on some retail websites which allow users to preview items in 360° view. Wouldn't they provide excellent evidence for ePortfolios in areas such as hairdressing?

Now there is a web service called 3dBin that lets users make 3d pictures of their own.

Created pictures will be interactive and can be easily rotated to any direction. Learners can use this service to nicely present evidence they want to include for assessment and make their ePortfolios interactive and attractive.
