![]() I would like to point out the Shooting itself was really quick since it was my goal (around a minute and a half). I yield some interesting results, which will be discussed in a bit. I didn't built the Sphox to last, you can see the frame is not leveled anymore after the day of photoshoot. If someone ask you "What are you doing?", "Did you apply for a photo permit?", be honest!! If they insist you to leave, Comply!! Never mess with people, especially when they think they are right!! Pick less busy hours if you have to. Get out there and take your Photosphere!! Do respect the photography rules in malls and public venues. Then i used some rope to secure the rig after leveling. Removing the camera mount allow me to rubber band the whole thing. Roll thin papers around the pins for protection.Glue one end of the velcro on the lid, make sure it doesn't obstruct the camera view.Cut the velcro, long enough to wrap the around the box with lid, to desired thickness (around 5 mm).Glue the board rim to the card rim for the lid.Glue a outer wall sealing the lower box.They will act as pins that rotate the box. Roll up paper cylinders and glue them on the short sides, on an imaginary line leveled with the camera.Hot glue the inner vertical walls, make sure your phone fits in there.Use the screw driver as sharp edge, and hammer holes one after the other along the circumference.Thick board are not cutter-friendly, nor sew-friendly by all means (see my blade broke in the pic?).Use coin and corner of cutting mat as "ruler" for curves.a few long strips from card for bending around the box as vertical walls.a few long strips from board of 1cm and 2 cm for hardening the rim.2 x card rims for surfacing the box and the lid.1 x board base wall with camera hole for stiff shell.Put your paper under the plastic (acrylic), and trace the required patterns with sharpies.Add approximately 5 mm and 1 cm rims on the short and long side of the outline as rim.Sketch outline of your phone on a paper, (Graph paper for accurate dimension).the box will be build from bottom up by walls. This box with a hole for camera, will then be mounted on a frame that rotates vertically perpendicular to the horizon, about the position of the camera. The key design is to have a box rotating about the horizon at the same level as the camera. If it works, i am interested in 3D printing the parts for more stability and durability. This is also a quick test-of-concept mid-night-built prototype after quick sketches. Also investigate the option for indoor application. My purpose is to speed up the process while retaining certain degree of quality. With practice,I bet you can too! This however draws weird attention and tiring. I can totally take a very decent photosphere, slowly walking in circle around the phone, bent over and back gracefully like a Contemporary dance routine, constantly focusing on the position of the phone like a mime artist. Rotating around the camera as oppose to user Point of view (POV), can minimize the effect as explianed by a 2 min illustration above. If you have calibration problem/ image misplaced, you are better off restarting the whole thing. There is an undo option, but that is mainly useful when a person walked by suddenly and block the view. ![]() Also, with slower and more accurate rotation, your gyroscope with have a easier time calibrating. You take around 40 pictures of your environment, and google camera distort them for you! Rotate yourself around your phone camera!! You cause errors as the your phone rotate according to you!! You can yield better picture with large outdoor scene, since larger the scene, the less significant is your error. How can a sphere like earth but map to a rectangle map? Distortion! It is the key/consequence. The duals are different in many ways, or is it? to skip you a math class of Geometry, topology, dimension, space transformation, it all boils down to one question.
