For the full sphere effect, you'll need the Photo Sphere Camera app.In accordance with the art. Once that's done, you can tap the orange Share icon to make your sphere available via Facebook, Twitter, email, or Google+.īy the way, you'll also find your spheres in your Camera Roll, though they'll appear there as basic panoramas. Then, while viewing your sphere, tap Publish to Google Maps. Step 6: If you want to share your sphere anywhere outside your iDevice, you'll need to sign into your Google account (which you can do by tapping the Menu icon). Then be prepared to wait a few minutes while Photo Sphere Camera stitches everything together. Or, if you feel you've got enough, tap the Finish icon. Step 5: Capture the last few areas near your feet and straight overhead.

When you're done, pan down (or up) to start your third 360-degree circle. Now stay panned in that direction and turn another 360 degrees (in the same direction as before). Then pan up (or down) until you see the next dot/circle. Step 4: Continue this process until you've turned a full 360 degrees, pausing as you go for additional snaps. Once that's done, slowly pan the camera left or right until you see the next dot/circle, then line them up until the shutter fires. As guided by the app, you'll need to center the orange dot within the white circle (or move the circle till it "captures" the dot) and hold it for a few seconds. Step 3: Position yourself in the center of whatever "sphere" you want to shoot, then tap the orange camera icon in the lower-right corner. By default, you swipe to move around within the sphere, but you can also tap the little compass icon for an accelerometer-powered view that moves as you tilt and pan the screen. Step 2: Tap one of the two sample spheres to get an idea for how a finished product can look. Step 1: Install the app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. However, there are a few caveats, and a few aspects to using the app that aren't so obvious. For the iOS crowd, however, it offers a free and fairly easy way to capture and share photo spheres. The app's 360-degree panorama capability has long been a part of that platform's stock Camera app. Of course, to Android users, it isn't new at all. Earlier this week, Google took the wraps off a new app: Photo Sphere Camera for iOS.
