Google Photospheres
360-degree imagery has been around for a while now, but recently Google has made it a little easier to create a 360-degree panoramic image and upload it to Google Maps for the world to view. If you have a Nexus 7 you can create photospheres using the camera app. For professional photographers who rather use traditional gear such as a DSLR with a fisheye or ultra-wide angle lens and a panoramic head on your tripod.
If you have 360-degree panoramic images in your collection and would like to convert them into photospheres that are ready to be uploaded to Google follow this link to add the extra metadata needed.
I have found that you need to keep your file size around 15mb or below and no larger than 10,000px wide.
Below are some of the photospheres we have uploaded to Google Maps and Google Earth.
