To a large crowed, there is a wrong Notion… that, only 360 Cameras can produce Google Street View Photos… Sorry, this is wrong.

A reasonable Mobile (with Camera) can produce very decent 360 or Spherical Photo and can be used to upload in Google Street View!

Yes, it is slightly time consuming - but honestly, a good mobile takes LESS TIME, THAN, TAKING A SHOT in a 1st generation 360 Camera, THEN PROCESSING IT & THEN, POSTING IT… Believe me.

Of course, be responsible (in action) & reasonable (in expectations)…

  1. Use of modern camera with Google Street View Application (details, on request) can give you exciting results!

  2. Use a 12 Mega Pixel, Rear camera with a clean Lens/Lenses.

  3. One has to circle around self (usually 3 to 4 times), moving the camera horizontally, then vertical, etc. The whole process needs, maximum, less than 3 minutes.

  4. Within 3 to 4 Trials, one can easily achieve, very reasonable results.

#. There are few more points, which can helps you to get excellent results; we can discuss further, if needed.

I give the confidence, to those who can work with me in this idea…

But, don’t expect DSLR results; then doing this in a DSLR is more cumbersome …!

Thanks

PS:

  1. If needed, I can post samples.

  2. This post again is, for Common enthusiasts, who are not able realize their 30 dreams, for short of 360 Camera - Not for Pro-s like LucioV, Gio51x and many others.

Happy SVs…
