With Google Photosphere now everyone can be a Google's car - a one geared up with your smartphone and accessing locations Google's car couldn't. All you need is download a Google Camera app for Android or iPhone and you are ready to create 360 photo views(you can still create them the usual way, but with the app it's just a lot easier). Well, according to Google you'll be geared up a lot better with RICOH THETA spherical camera, but 399$ price tag requires certain enthusiasm from you. So, you've taken your first photo sphere - you can share it with the world with a #photosphere hashtag, embed into your blog or website, embed it into your application. However for it to appear on Google Street View, you will have to go through a verification process - but I have no idea how long it takes, I was too excited to write about this, so, I didn't wait for my first photo sphere to complete this process. And here is my embedded photosphere: That's an extra dimension for your travel blog!
