Makkah Sharif, Saudi Arabia - 360 degree photos

virtual tour is a installation free program that will make you feel as if you are there. Just drag the mouse to the direction you want to look. Use the scroll wheel to zoom at the details. Press F9 to get a list of the 3D sites you downloaded (residing in the same directory). To install the listed sites as a screensaver press F5. Our advise is to install all the sites, including Arafat, as a screensaver. When the screensaver starts, a random site is chosen and shown around automatically (this gives the impression of looking at a documentary in HD quality). To see the usage of other keys press F1. Press Esc to exit.

Panorama shoots were taken in the year 2008. Shooting equipment was Nikon D80 digital camera, 10.5 mm fisheye lens, remote control, panoramic tripod head and a tripod. For each 360 photo 24+ pictures were taken. The pictures that are taken for different angles are later combined using a computer to form a full 360 degree panoramic view, surrounding the viewer both horizontally and vertically.

Jazak Allah Khayr (Islamic expression of gratitude meaning "May Allāh reward you [with] goodness.") and thank you to www.3dmekanlar.com for the 360 degree photos
