Re: How to add your own 360 Street View on Google Maps

@Yohanad Dear Yohanad, I've posted a 360° on twitter LG post & account (see https://twitter.com/localguides/status/898877222861160449 ), and there is an issue for smartphone. It doesn't appear nice !!!

Have a look with your computer, tablet and smartphone and see the difference: https://goo.gl/maps/bTPBwvfhvTB2 

Thanks for your help (LG & Maps team) and about this issue because it's appearing to other 360° made by fisheye and computer,... 😉

A lot of platforms don't display the 360° Photospheres 'actively'. Facebook will, but, Twitter won't. However, you can use a third-party service to display your 390°'s actively on Twitter, I use Kuula, I'm not sure if other services can provide this functionality on twitter. https://twitter.com/Dorset360Photos/status/889942148686196740 You do have to click/tap the play icon, then the interactive 360° photo will function in the tweet.

Definitely, love the for hire feature!

it is just like Uber all over again! Almost anyone can do it as long as it has some equipment that he/she can work with!

Re: How to add your own 360 Street View on Google Maps

To demonstrate 3 different types of 360° using various levels of equipment, here's a couple of my contributions to Google Maps, using various devices. 

 

Using iPhone 5s & Streetview App.

Some minor stitching errors are visible. It is difficult to get a perfect sphere, but not impossible. Though, time it takes to snap all the shots needed, and processing time required to stitch can be a downside.

 

 

Using Ricoh Theta S.

Extremely simple, though a little practice may be needed to choose the right settings. This example was using the HDR setting, which takes three shots with varying exposure levels and then combines them, this can cause blurring of moving objects, which can also be useful at times.

 

 

72mp DSLR 12 shot stacked exposure.

8mm Fisheye Lens, Panoramic Tripod Head. 4 sets of bracketed exposures. Technically this is towards the top end, the very top requires a more expensive panoramic head to take an additional zenith/nadir shot, though rarely necessary to show either the zenith or nadir, as few will bother to look, so you can use a little blurring in these areas.
