You don’t need a 360 camera to add a location. Spin your phone in place and Vimmersa paints each frame onto a live sphere until you have a full panorama — all in the browser, no app to install.
Before you start
On your phone, go to Tools → “Capture 360° panorama with your phone”. Inside a project, you can also tap “Capture with your phone” in the editor. You need to be signed in — the finished panorama is saved to your account as a location.
Open the tool on desktop and it shows a QR code. Scan it with your phone to shoot there — when you save, the new scene opens back on your computer automatically. Nothing to email or transfer.
The tool uses your camera and your phone’s motion sensors to know where you’re pointing. Allow both when prompted. Everything runs in the browser — there’s no app to install and no separate 360 camera.
Hold the phone upright and turn on the spot. A grid of dots marks where a frame is still needed; aim the reticle at a dot, hold steady, and it captures automatically, painting that patch onto a live sphere. Work around the full ring, then tilt up and down to cover the ceiling and floor.
Manual captures when you hold steady on a dot, Timer gives you a short countdown per frame, and Instant grabs frames as fast as you can aim. If a frame comes out blurry, “Retry last” undoes just the most recent patch.
When the sphere is filled, the patches are stitched into a single equirectangular panorama. Use the live exposure control to even out brightness — what you set is baked into the saved file.
Preview lets you look around the finished 360° right in the window. When it looks right, Save creates a new location you can drop into a tour, add hotspots to, and share.
