Photo Sphere is an Android camera feature that captures 360 degree Street View-like
panoramas.
To get started, the most important thing is to hold your phone close to your body throughout
this photo sphere taking process. It also helps to hold your phone vertically and at
eye level.
Hold the camera with the blue dot centered inside the doughnut. Now slowly rotate in
one circle, pausing as you take each frame to align with the blue dot.
Remember to keep your phone close to your body even as you rotate!
To get the full 360 effect, complete about four more rotations by tilting your camera
at different angles. We recommend two rotations with your camera tilted upwards, and two rotations
tilted downwards.
Now that you have your photo sphere, saving is easy! Touch the stop button, and it will
automatically save.
To admire your new work of art, touch the Photo Sphere icon and watch it pan automatically,
or scroll through it at your own pace!
To share your photo sphere, submit it to Google Maps! Just be sure that it is a full 360 degree
view and tagged to a specific location.
Now go out, have fun, and enjoy your photospheres!
