View & Navigate 360° Images

Tobias Patek
  • Updated

Overview

Image points on a run can be selected to view the corresponding 360° image.

View 360° images, change the viewing angle, select a different time/run of the same image point and more.

Compare mode enables side-by-side display of two 360° images from different runs, making it easy to see differences between two points in time.

Normal image point: Contains a single 360° image
End position: Where the recording of the run ended.
Selected image point: Indicates the current viewing direction of the 360° image.
