Source images are equirectangular panoramic photos that have been taken with either a DSLR camera with a pano bracket, or a 360 camera such as a Theta S or a Samsung Gear 360. Images need to be in 360° x 180° field of view format. Non-panorama images need to be stitched into this format using a third-party tool such as PTGUI Pro, such as when taking pictures with a DSLR camera and a detent/pano-bracket. Currently supported formats include JPG and PNG.
