Based in Hamburg, Germany, SPHERIE provides specialized drone services centered on capturing 360° virtual reality content and high-precision photogrammetry. The company was established in 2016, building on the work of founder Nicolas Chibac, whose background as a freelance cameraman led to the creation of SpiceVR in 2015, a venture focused on 360-degree films that developed the initial SPHERIE drone concept.
The firm's core offering is its patented drone system, engineered to capture completely spherical, unobstructed 360-degree footage without the aircraft appearing in the final imagery. This technology serves as the foundation for producing digital twins, which are virtual replicas of physical assets, by combining high-resolution photography with 3D data from lidar scanners. SPHERIE's drones, such as the SPHERIE 42 and SPHERIE 86 models, are designed to be compact for operation in both outdoor and confined indoor environments.
SPHERIE operates on a business-to-business service model, catering to two primary markets: industrial and tourism. For industrial clients, such as the Port of Hamburg, the company offers automated inspections, condition analysis of infrastructure, and construction site monitoring. In the tourism sector, it collaborates with destination management organizations and tourism boards to create immersive virtual travel experiences. The business functions as an end-to-end service provider, managing projects from initial concept through to production and post-production. The company has received backing from venture capital investors, including German Accelerator, Drone Fund, and HHLA Next.
