Photosphere Photography facilities a virtual photographic experience by allowing users to rephotograph 360-degree panoramas from Google Street View. It begins by typing a location or address into a webpage form. The location is geocoded and corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates are sent to an iOS app, which displays Google Street View panoramas on an iPhone screen fixed in front of a DSLR camera lens. When peering through the DSLR camera’s viewfinder, the spatial perspective within Street View’s photospheres shifts based on camera orientation, due to input data from the iPhone’s gyroscope and accelerometer motion sensors.
