To view 360-degree photos on your desktop: Use a modern web browser like Chrome or Firefox. Open the 360-degree photo in the browser. Click and drag on the photo to explore it. No additional software is required.
360 views. Ok. Now let's take a look at some types of "360" images. A 360 image for start is one that contains information on what is around you. Behind you, in front, to the left, to the right. The most primitive way to capture this information is by taking a photo of a metallic reflective sphere.
Spherical panoramas have a 2:1 aspect ratio because the field-of-view is 360° x 180°. You obviously need enough photos to cover the whole surrounding. If you use stitching software, then you need to have some overlap between images and will take slightly more images than enough to cover exactly the 360°.
How do I generate a equirectangular with Hugin? I have enough images for a 360 view of my scene. I see the Cubic Projection or equirectangular in the Hugin documentation but I see no mention of it in the software itself. I read a script "DorinDXN" that generates a 6 pics from a pano equirectangular. there is the opposite?
How do I generate a cubic projection (AKA cubemap) with Hugin? I have enough images for a 360 view of my scene. I see the Cubic Projection in the Hugin documentation but I see no mention of it in the software itself. Preferably, I would like to output each face of the cube in a separate image.
Another trick, if you're just trying to mess with the nadir (straight down view), is to re-orient the pano up 90° in tilt by dragging vertically in the preview, or setting the viewpoint explicitly (there's a numerical transform button in PTGui; not sure what it would be in Hugin), so that the middle of the pano is the floor and exhibits the ...
The Nikon 8mm/2.8 circular fisheye, for instance, has a 210° field of view. If you point the camera directly upwards, it will capture a 360° panorama that not only covers the 180° from horizon to horizon, but extends 15° below the horizon line as well. Greater coverage (a larger angle of view) simply reduces the blind spot.
I have a 360×180 panoramic photo, and I'd like it to display on Facebook similarly to this example from Mark Zuckerberg. I tried following Facebook's documentation, but my image is being interpreted as if it were full 360° spherical. What metadata do I need to set to restrict the viewer so it only pans side-to-side, not up and down as well?
But if you're not covering the full spherical view, and are making a cylindrical 360° or a less than 360° scene panorama, you need to watch that your camera remains level both in roll and in pitch. If you have a curved horizon when you stitch, the chances are very good you altered the pitch and/or the roll of the camera.
Make sure the Lens Type is Rectilinear, and if the EXIF didn't pull in focal length and crop factor, guesstimate your field of view. Click OK. Click on the GL preview button it the toolbar. Select the Projection tab. Make sure the Field of View is set to 360 x 180, and that the Equirectangular projection is selected. Close the GL preview window.
