With the discontinuation of the Google Street View Camera app, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\" target=\"_blank\">ThingLink<\/a> has developed a mobile-friendly alternative through its groundbreaking addition to its suite of tools. Our game-changing conversion solution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinglink.com\/en-us\/pano-to-360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pano to 360<\/a> allows you to effortlessly create immersive experiences using 360-degree photosphere images, using just your mobile phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the days of needing a specialist 360 camera or equipment. Previously, capturing 360-degree images required a 360 camera like the Ricoh Theta z1 or Insta360, along with a monopod or tripod. Now, you can easily convert panoramic photos taken on an iPhone or any Android mobile device for use in a virtual tour, thanks to ThingLink&#8217;s new feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example of a 360 guided tour created with iPhone 12 and ThingLink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get inspired by taking a guided tour through a co-working space in Helsinki. Immerse yourself in the converted 360 photosphere, originally captured with an iPhone 12 Pro Max on the panorama setting and converted into a 360-degree photo in ThingLink.
