Illumination for 360 degree cameras

Additional illumination improves the capture of omnidirectional 360° video and images, especially for dark or high-contrast environments. There is no "behind" for 360° cameras, so the placement of lights is a problem. We explore ways to position lights on some 360° cameras, and propose two good locations.
