ABSTRACT:
A method for providing as a surface of a closed-surface object, such as a sphere, and the resulting construction itself, portions of photographs from a set of photographs, the portions of photographs in combination providing a full, spherical view, called an immersed view, as seen from the location of a camera used to take the photographs, the camera having been aimed in each of a set of different directions to take the set of photographs. The different directions in which the camera is aimed are based on the field of view of the camera, which in the preferred embodiment is held fixed while taking the entire set of photographs. The immersive view includes substantially all four-pi radians of the view from the location of the camera, including views in directions both vertically directly up (in the direction of the zenith) and vertically directly down (in the direction of the nadir).
