Take the photos
The Theta stitches each photo: copy the JPGs from the camera or the RICOH THETA app.
Drop them in the app
Drag the files onto the upload area, paste the link of a Google Drive folder, or import your photos already on Street View.
The tour builds itself
Positions, geometry and links are computed on our servers. Close the page: an email tells you when it is ready.
Adjust and publish
Browse the tour, adjust it in the editor, then download it, embed it in a website or publish it to Google Maps.

What to upload

Files: The JPG photos from the camera or the RICOH THETA app: they are already equirectangular, 2:1.
DNG files: The DNG of a Theta Z1 holds the two lenses unstitched: stitch it first with Ricoh’s software, or upload the JPG.
Height: When you upload, give the height of the camera: it sets the scale of the floor plan.

On a Theta shoot

Trigger from your phone
Take each photo from the RICOH THETA app and step out of sight, into the next room if you can.
HDR indoors
Turn on the camera’s HDR mode in rooms with windows: the view outside stays readable.
A stand at a fixed height
A monopod or light stand at the same height for every photo gives the tour its scale.

Good to know

The Theta records the orientation of each photo, not its position: positions are found from the photos, and the measurements of the floor plan stay approximate.
