I'm developing an iOS app for 360 panorama like the street view app made by Google, I want to developed the camera feature but I haven't find any resources or help.
How the logic behind the camera is?
How the dot are displayed on the screen?
Please I really need some help about the logic behind the app.
Checkout this project on github you can get a clear picture of the 360 degree photo's
You need to process the images into a equirectangular image

I need some directions (tutorials, examples, etc) to help me to figure out how I could, from a floor plan (ex: png file for now), place some points/icons to different locations and be able to zoom in/out, drag and rotate.
In fact, a bit like google map, with only basic stuffs.
Thanks
Take a look at the Grid List Demo in Flutter Gallery:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/examples/flutter_gallery/lib/demo/material/grid_list_demo.dart
It features an Image viewer with zoom and pan support.
(You can also find the Gallery on the Play Store)
Instead of using a simple image, use a Stack that overlays Positioned widgets over your image.
I'm developing Google Street View app for iOS.
I think Photo Sphere is not sopported iOS API, but it's sopported Android API.
How do i show the Photo Sphere? I can't think of any good ideas.
Use cordova-plugin-googlemaps for PhoneGap?
Thanks.
You can use OpenGL ES and map the image as a spheremap texture. or have a sphere mesh and use a standard texture coordinates.
You can also achieve the same effect using UIView customisation.
I am interested in VR and trying to get a bit more information. I want to create a similar experience on iOS where I can take a 360 image and be able to view it on a iOS device by tilting the phone around and using the devices gyroscope, as I tilt the phone around it will pan around the 360 image (like on google street view where you can use the tilt gesture).
And something similar to this app: http://bubb.li/
Can anybody give a brief overview how this would be do-able, any sources that could help me achieve this, API's etc...?
Much appreciated.
Two options here: You can use a dedicated device to capture the image for you, or you can write some code to stitch together multiple images taken from the iOS device as you move it around a standing point.
I've used the Ricoh Theta for this (no affiliation). They have a 360 viewer in the SDK for mapping 360 images to a sphere that works exactly as you've asked.
Assuming you've figured out how to create 360 photospheres, you can use Unity and Unreal, and probably development platforms to create navigation between the locations you captured.
Here is a tutorial that looks pretty detailed for doing this in Unity:
https://tutorialsforvr.com/creating-virtual-tour-app-in-vr-using-unity/
One pro of doing this in something like Unity or Unreal is once you have navigation between multiple photo spheres working it's fairly easy to add animation or other interactive elements. I've seen interactive stories done with 360 video using this method.
(I see that the question is from a fairly long time ago, but it was one of the top results when I looked for this same topic)
I want to track the relative position of a camera aimed at a computer screen.
I can’t control what is displayed on the computer screen but I can receive screen dumps whenever something changes on the screen. Those screen dumps can hopefully be used to find the screen when analyzing the video from the camera.
I see many videos on youtube for face, logo or single colored objects tracking using OpenCV but I’m unsure those methods would work finding and tracking a more detailed image like a screen dump.
Maybe Template Matching is the way to go? But I need to find the screen even at an angle.
Basically I don’t know where to begin and need help from people with experience in this field to find the best way for achieving what I want.
Thanks
Using feature matching should do the trick (Sift/SURF/ORB/...)
I am a very beginner in Objective-C and iOS programming. I spent a month to find out how to show a 3D model using OpenGL ES (version 1.1) on top of the live camera preview by using AvFoundation. I am doing a kind of augmented reality application on iPad. I process the input frames and show 3D object overlay with the camera preview in realtime. These was fine because there are so many site and tutorial about these things (Thanks to this website as well).
Now, I want to make a screen capture of the whole screen (the model with camera preview as the background) as the image and show in the next screen. I found a really good demonstration here, http://cocoacoderblog.com/2011/03/30/screenshots-a-legal-way-to-get-screenshots/. He did everything I want to do. But, as I said before, I am so beginner and don't understand the whole project without explanation in details. So, I'm stuck for a while because I don't know how to implement this.
Does anybody know any of good tutorial or any kind of source in this topic or any suggestion that I should learn more in order to do this screen capture? This will help me a lot to moving on.
Thank you in advance.
I'm currently attempting to solve this same problem to allow a user to take a screenshot of an Augmented Reality app. (We use Qualcomm's AR SDK plugged into Unity 3D to make our AR apps, which saved me from ever having to learn how to programmatically render OpenGL models)
For my solution I am first looking at implementing the second answer found here: How to take a screenshot programmatically
Barring that I will have to re-engineer the "Combined Screenshots" method found in CocoaCoder's Screenshots app.
I'll check back in when I figure out which one works better.
Here are 3 very helpful links to capture screenshot:
OpenGL ES View Snapshot
How to capture video frames from the camera as images using AV Foundation
How do I take a screenshot of my app that contains both UIKit and Camera elements
