Google revamps Street View, welcomes users' 360-degree images
Google is revamping its Street View service with an eye to attracting many more contributed 360° images.
On Thursday, the company introduced an update to its iOS and Android mobile apps that supports uploads from three cameras: Ricoh's Theta S, the NCTech iris360 and the Giroptic 360cam. The cameras capture an image in all directions, similar to those from Google's Street View car.

With its relaunch, it supports the 360° images and adds Street View imagery from Google.
