Announced earlier this year, Nvidia Ansel allows in-game photography from angles not always available from the player's point of view, and at extremely high resolution – up to 32x the screen resolution.

It also provides 360-degree panorama capture, extensible post-processing filters, and OpenEXR export for compatibility with a range of image editing tools including Photoshop.

Those panoramas can be viewed with the Nvidia VR Viewer for Android, among other methods.

Ansel requires an Nvidia GeForce GTX 600-series or higher card, the latest Game Ready driver, and must be explicitly supported by games. According to Nvidia officials, that only requires around 100 lines of code.

Ansel is now available in the PC version of Mirror's Edge Catalyst. This includes the free camera capability, which will be disabled in some games to avoid cheating, for example by obtaining a bird's eye view of a maze.

Other games that will support Ansel include Fortnite, Lawbreakers, No Man’s Sky, Obduction, Paragon, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, The Witness, Tom Clancy’s The Division, and Unreal Tournament.
