Foot & Hand Placement

How to swivel & tilt

Layering in action

Multiple Layers • In addition to being full circle, pano’s should also capture

layers above and below the field of vision.

Single layer panos are missing images above and below the field of vision.

Only provides a partial visual experience.

Multiple Layers • In addition to being full circle, pano’s should also capture

layers above and below the field of vision.

A complete panorama captures all of the visual elements in a space and is composed of multiple layers.

Multiple Layers • In addition to being full circle, pano’s should also capture

Minimizing Rotation • Turn your phone upside down

When your phone is upside down the camera swivels (moves and rotates) less often).
