Free 360 Images For Development Tests

I am organizing different types of 360 images for mobile, desktop and web application development.

Please add to this list with images that have this criteria

  • license allows free use. list or link to license
    • attribution in the README of the app or in a separate file is OK. Watermark, overlay, or requirement of attribution under image is not okay.
  • test 360 image with RICOH THETA desktop viewer or other 360 viewer
    • image must have an excellent stitch line, comparable to a RICOH THETA image stitch line
  • link to the image so a developer can download and use it
  • put RICOH THETA images at the top of the section. RICOH THETA images preferred, but not required

These types of images are OK to add as long as they meet the criteria above

  • images from other cameras are OK
  • images made by AI are OK
  • images made by mobile phones are OK

Goal of information

  • developer can have confidence 360 image will work for testing
  • if attribution is required, the listing below the image supplies the attribution and copyright requirements so that the developer can copy and paste the information into a LICENSE file in their app

Important Information on License Information

You are responsible for checking the license requirements yourself. This information is provided solely to help speed up the development process during testing so that you can evaluate 360 viewer technology. It is not intended to provide compliance for publication.

@jcasman thanks for finding these images. These are exactly what I was looking for. However, it takes time to find and evaluate the images. Getting help is useful.

I’m using these four images in a tutorial I’m putting together on using 360 viewers in mobile app development

NPS / Michael Larson

For the Carlsbad Cavern, can you put the attribution as NPS / Michael Larson.

There’s some excellent low light shooting

Maybe it’s this guy?

@jcasman Please edit the posts to put the attribution in a format that developers can copy and paste it into a README file

Thanks. Fixed the previous 3 posts above to make it easier for developers to quickly include attribution with minimal effort.
