It admit you to take an immersive 360 degree bird’s-eye image of the existence around you . You stomach in one place , hit the shutter button , and then virtual dots seem on your silver screen , anchored to the scene around you . You slant and rotate the camera around , capturing each one of these blue acid , until you have a full 360 image — like you ’re stomach on the inside of a earth , look out .
If you ’re have trouble visualizing that , Google Maps ’ how - to video below should discharge it up .
Once you ’ve captured all of the images for your Photo Sphere your phone will mechanically sew everything together . you could then scroll around the icon with your finger to see everything as you primitively catch it . If you like it , you’re able to select to upload it toViews(or even to Google Maps straight ) .

It does n’t have that weird , stretch facial expression of your distinctive panorama , it just look like it did when you were stand there . you’re able to use it for everything from beautiful landscapes to the inside of your newfangled flat so your family can see it .
