Make it easy with Street View! Flat two-dimensional photos are an old story. The Future is the 360 Gradient Photos that let you see what's happening around the frame.
At the moment you can share the 360 degree photos from Facebook for your friends to see. Unlike 360 videos, they can be easily created using the phone you already have.
Let's see how it works:
First, you need to have an application. The best that is currently out there is Google Street View for Android ή iOS, but you can also use the Photo Sphere of your Android camera or Surround Shot on Samsung devices.
The Street View app has a large orange icon. Tapping it will access your camera so the app will guide you through the process.
Basically, you have to stand in one place and start taking pictures until you fill the ball at the bottom.
Images come automatically when you are in a defined position (no need to press the button of the shutter), and once you're done, the app will do all the hard work of editing.
If you have also installed the Google Photos you will be able to see the 360 degree photo you created in all its glory.
