Google's Photo Sphere for capturing 360º spheric panoramas was
launched in 2012 with the camera app in Android 4.2 and since then has
only been available for devices running Google's mobile OS. Now the
Photo Sphere team at Google has dramatically increased the potential
user base of its app by launching a version for Apple's iOS devices.
As with the Android version, iOS users can capture images that
record an all-around view. The final product is interactive, allowing
users to look up and down, giving a more realistic impression of the
captured scene than a standard photograph. After capture, Photo Spheres
can be uploaded for viewing in a web-based Google viewer. You can then
also post them to Google Maps or share via the usual social networks.
Photo Sphere is not the first spheric panorama app for iOS - Sphere
and 360 Panorama have been available for a while - but iOS users will
now have another option at their hands. Photo Sphere for iOS requires
iOS 7.0 and is compatible with iPhone and iPad but optimized for the for
iPhone 5. It can be downloaded from the Apple Store now. If you would like to learn more about how Photo Sphere works and what the results look like we recommend you read our comprehensive hands-on look at the original Android version.
