Ricoh has an OK image hosting service for 360 photos. Ricoh’s own hosting (or your camera brand’s hosting) I haven't played around with it much, but plan to. Allows you to post out to Facebook, and interestingly, Twitter.

You have to click on it:Ī free website to post and mildly edit 360-photos. You can use Flickr to embed these photos in other webpages, but as you can see below, they don’t load correctly. You need to click onto the photo’s page, wait for a moment, and then it shows. When they add photo support too, they'll be as good as Facebook for sharing.įlickr does support 360 photos, though it’s not as seamless as Facebook. Why is this in the also-rans? Lack of photo support in a medium that supports photos, is a miss in my book. Twitter recently added 360-video support, but no direct support for images yet (see Kuula on the next page). Related, you can upload to Google Maps, which seems odd to me and I've never done it. It’s free and it works, though, so there’s that. So the images feel far more static, less 3D, and not nearly as cool. Also, the trick “move your phone and the image moves with it” functionality isn’t here like it is on Facebook and YouTube (I know, WTF?). Why is this listed as an “also ran.” Well for one, most people aren’t on Google+, so you’ll still need to link out from Facebook. You can create a shared folder, as I have here, and once people get there the images load full-browser and you can navigate them. Though if you have Facebook and YouTube for some reason… well here are the other options. Everything else on this list is flawed in some way. YouTube and Facebook have by far the best implementations of 360 playback.

On mobile devices, use the latest version of the YouTube app for Android or iOS.” If you’re having issues watching the 360 videos, keep this in mine, from Google’s support page: “To watch 360° videos, you need the latest version of Chrome, Opera, Firefox, or Internet Explorer on your computer. You can find out more info, and the link to the download, on their support page. It’s easy and fast, though it’s important to note you have to have a 64-bit operating system (newer versions of Windows usually are).

You’ll need to download a free app from Google to add data to tell YouTube the video is 360. However, there is one extra step required to posting: metadata insertion. The only downside is if you’re not on Facebook, or someone you want to show them to isn’t on Facebook, you’re out of luck (though you can create an Album and share that with non-Facebook people. You can’t tag faces in the photos yet, though you can tag the post with their names. If someone has an older phone, or is viewing on the computer, they can use their finger or mouse to scan the image (some really old or budget phones won’t work at all, however). Everyone I’ve shown this to has their mind blown. Turn around, and see what was behind the camera. Most mid- and high-end phones will let you move the phone itself to view your photo sphere. The cool part is when people look at your photos. You can see some examples here (you don't have to be part of Facebook to view the photos). You just upload an image as normal, and Facebook processes it to look correct in your feed. This is by far the easiest place to post, and the best place to view, 360 photos and videos.
