Hacking the Facebook - Panoramic Images

Hi folks,

If you have used a panoramic photo mode on your smartphone, you have noticed that you can post a pano to FB and it will figure out that your image is a pano and permit viewers to flick and pan around the image, in a spherical projection.

If you make equirectangular, 360° panoramic images with a regular old camera and a pano head, for example, you can post them to Facebook as well and enable this kind of user interactivity. With a little bit of hackage of the metadata in the image file.

Here is a tutorial I found that gives you the key to letting Facebook know what you're up to.

And here is an example of my super aesthetically pleasing basement:

Cool beans! This image was made with a stitch in PTGui using images shot with a Canon 5D MkIV, Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 ZE and a Nodal Ninja 5 pano head.

Hack on!
