(warning it will look like you're standing on a black hole, or there may be a line where the scenery does not match (behind you in the photosphere)) so if its not a full 360, you might need to adjust those settings. Then you have some options, like setting where along the photo is "center" or "north"Īlso you can set the dimensions, not all panoramas are all the way to under your feet, some have a dead space or are cropped, if you make it a full sphere it will be oddly distorted. (im not totally sure why, perhaps still missing critical meta data.)įor those i found a web app, you should email or usb transfer the file from your phone (or if you still have it on a desktop do it there (ive had mixed luck doing this with the phone browser, although it should work) There are many other 360degree flat panoramas that you can find, but they don't work with just the tagging with the previous app. it will work for genuine photospheres generated by someones kitcat camera app, but if it was made otherwise, or uploaded to some place that strips meta data, there are some exif/metadata tags that are probably missing. Open google cardboard and go to the photospheres option and click through the images to see if it worked.īut the name format is only part of it. try renaming the photograph to PANO_whatever.jpg and emailing it to yourself. And then one needs to know if they still have the exif data(meta data in the file, you can’t often see, that tells cardboard that it is a photosphere and where to start…. Photospheres can be tricky to download at full resolutions(and with the needed data intact). I hunted online and found the following information.Īny photosphere you take on your own phone should work and just automatically show up. In preparation for our hackerspace getting some cardboard vr kits from Instructables I started dabbling with how it loaded photospheres. Then once you have the panoramas, you need to get them to your phone, you can transfer them to a folder via usb, you can email them to yourself and save them on the phone, you can find them via apps like sphereshare app, and download them (may require paid version) You are welcome to snag some I've collected, only about 1/3 are my own photos, so if you own the rights to any of them and want me to take them down, just let me know. Some of them are as easy as right clicking and downloading, some are trickier, (not the time or place to go into stealing images if you can't find it out in the open to download, consider finding/writing the creator to ask for a copy.) you can find them on websites like, Some of of my favorites were of a panorama stitched from one of the moon landings, and a selfie done by the mars rover (with an edited in amazing sky. you can find them on google+ you can find them on google image searches. Take a look it’s pretty impressive.There are lots of ways to get 360 degree panoramic images. Google has posted a quick demo of the Photo Sphere feature in a demo, which we have embedded below. The Panorama’s shot using Photo Sphere are stored as JPEGs and all the information regarding the image is stored in the XML metadata. Notably, unlike most Panorama apps out there, it does not only go sideways but also up and down which helps it to create a true 360-degree image. Google has not revealed how bigger panorama photos one can take and they are rather ambiguous about it, but we will know when get our hands on it. ![]() Also Read - Pixel Watch might come free on pre-ordering Pixel 7 Pro: Check detailsĪdditionally, unlike Apple’s 28-megapixel cap, Google’s Photo Sphere can go way beyond 28-megapixels. Now, Google makes a big deal about its Street View vehicles that gather 3D photographs of cities, but Photo Sphere similarly allows users to add 360-degree panoramas to Google Maps.

On the face of it, one might relegate it as a me-too Panorama feature similar to the one seen on the iPhone 5, but Google says that it leverages technology from its Street View service. Yesterday with the launch of the Android 4.2 and the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 devices, Google showed a new Android feature called Photo Sphere. ![]()
