The first week of August was welcomed by the WordPress blogging community with news about a retina and HiDPI(high dots per inch) update. Basically, a retina display means you cannot identify separate pixels because they are so close together for the human eye to see. The result is an amazing display on your screen especially on the newly released, 15” Retina Macbook Pro. This development however, has been on for some time and is now making its way to the latest gadgets- mobile and tablets alike.
WordPress High Resolution Update
As photography enthusiasts and all other online users rejoice over this breakthrough, not all have advanced graphics features yet. And so its main drawback is the “fuzzy look,” which is a big turn off more so with ecommerce sites that are selling products online. To resolve this issue, WordPress has rolled out an update that will show high resolution images for WP users.
As Matt of WordPress blogged, “All of your blog posts will now serve high-resolution images for users that can see them, at least the images that we host. Since we create all images dynamically on the fly, what we do is if you’ve uploaded a higher resolution photo and sized it down, we’ll serve a double-size so it looks super sharp to those visitors — they’ll think you’re ahead of the game.”
360 Degree Product Views
With this improvement, WordPress users will all the more engage visitors when they combine it with 360 degree product photography. The 360 YouSpin Lite is an ideal app for this job because you can easily embed it on your website or blog. Plus, it takes only mere minutes to download the app and create 360 spins of your own products. A high resolution website with 360 degree product views is something that will definitely impress your target audience. Start downloading 360 YouSpin today and watch your site’s traffic skyrocket!
