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.
