Default View of an Photosphere

[AndreasP]

Hello,

is it possible to set a default view for a photosphere?

So, when somebody open in Street View my photosphere, he/she gets my prefered view?

Greets,

Hi @AndreasP

By default, where the visitor is first heading is the middle of the photo (this is not necessarily true for connected photo spheres in a virtual tour of course). 

When I take photo spheres, I try to keep the "front lens" of my camera on the desired, main subject of the photo (unless I am already planning to connect more photos into a virtual tour in which case I try to head along the route I am taking the visitor for a "walk"). Taking photos with a DSL camera and stitching them together of course needs additional tinkering with where the middle of the image should be.

For the Google Cardboard VR View, there are "Control Parameters" among which there is the "start_yaw" but I am afraid we have no such tool in our arsenal for simple SV.
