*facepalm*...I did now.  Nice pic, I like how you can move around the pic on that site, it's a lot like google earth.  Now where's waldo, aka the drone operator in the pic?

Very cool!

Very nice.. I made one with 4 x 21 picture panos.. but I could never get any "player" to work with it.. I will have to check out that site.

Awesome outcome, very nice shots, what programe did you use?

Wow!!! So Cool,  thanks for sharing

awsome. at least something 360 in 3d - not spherical flat pic

PTgui for windows

Great job, friend! I like this picture, thanks for sharing.

Brilliant photo!

The 3 horizontal picture in the Pano setting is the 21 picture Pano

Brilliant.
Love it a lot!

How you made the top pictures? Or did ptgui the top automatic out of the top of the 21 pic-Panos? Its a great hint, how to do it. Nice Sphere!

The option from middle is for 21 photos

Wow, this an impressive shot, great work

I have only one question.How did you create the lens flare from the sun?!!!!!!!!!

It is a feature of kuula

Wait, no sky pictures straight up??!

This is really nice, thanks for sharing..  Has anyone gotten something like this working with a VR headset, like in Google Cardboard or something?

Well, awesome pic, and after a couple of tries I'd say easier said than done!....anyway it's challenging to see this good works!

That is super impressive!

Cool, I'm doing something similar to make TINY PLANETS. How do you add the lens flare that moves with you. Very cool

Oops, I see the answer now.

Stunning image. Thanks for sharing method.

Did you put the six panos stitched by dji software into ptgui or did you put all 102 individual photos into ptgui?

I agree -- this inspired me to try the technique too, and it's not so easy to get something that looks superb!

I uploaded it at lower resolution on

I am soooo glad djiuser_xLE6O03 posted his method on here. I have been playing with his idea and have had great fun. It takes a lot of experience to get it just right. Being a bit of a technophobe I have only just realised that Kuula has a VR button so that you can see the pano in virtual reality on your 'phone with appropriate goggles. That is a truly amazing experience.

Very nice work.
Could I ask some technical question?
1. Why take 4 x 180 panos and how to plan these 4 panos say orientation and pitch of gimbal? I though 2 x 180 = 360. In fact, the 21 photos 180 pano is wider than 180 reported in hugin when stiching.
2. How to plan the 2 x 9 photos pano say point AC nose to east then to west?
Thanks

I have tried to make it with only 2x180 but some gaps remain. Is only needed 3x21 panorama . The 4th was by mistake when I pointed camera to ground i forgot to change to 1x9 panorama , but I use it in 360 . I take 2x9 panorama pointed to ground at 90 degrees (to North and west for example) to be sure ,may be one is enough

if u take only  2 x 180 u can have problem  with missing part of horizon or they dont fit perfectly if  spark little move on wind. U can even take 6 x 180 and put all photos in project - software will use all to achive view using exif info and gps to compare main points. Generaly more photos (if dron doesnt move at all) will give u more options to choose layers. I take always also minimum  3 x 180 pano so they can overlap each other and i have option to use part of them e.g in one pano 180 in corner is moving smudged car, in other pano wich cover same place is no car so in 3rd app used to stitching photos i use layer without car.

If u use ptgui like author sugested to me, u can even take 4 x 9pic panos from bottom and software will from all photos  best to use and fit to other.

impressive editing
