If you got here are random, you can read a
discussion of the overall idea
of this project.
After reviewing the directions below,
to create a scene using your own drawing squares or using a prepared
sample set of squares, tap the
button below.
If you have a previously-saved 360° image which
you would like to reload, tap the
button instead.
If you choose to make a new 360° image, on
the screen that appears you will neede tap each
"direction square" one at a time to take photos of
each corresponding square of your drawing.
As you do, observe the preview
to check whether it appears to have been correctly taken (if not,
tap the preview to retake that one).
If the "Please Try Again" image appears in the square, you might
not have had the square sheet fully in the camera's view.
(It is, however, possible that your device does not have the
memory and processing power that this app requires.)
If instead of your own drawings, you would like to use a sample
set of drawings, then you can touch the
button on that screen to load a sample image set.
When you have all six squares photographed and ready,
you can choose to adjust the resolution for the combined
image and then tap the
button
to join the images.
Once the combined image is ready, you can choose to save it for
later use, and then tap the
button to view.
(Note that once you choose to view it in VR,
you won't be able to come back to save it.)
At that point, if your device has a gyroscope and compass, you
can either move the device around as a "magic window" to see the
immersive scene,
or tap the button
to have the image split for use in a "cardboard" headset.
If your device lacks a gyroscope or compass, you can use your
finger to drag the scene around to view the space.
