President Obama meets President-Elect Trump in the Oval Office - See in Virtual Reality!!!
Put on your Google Cardboard or Google Daydream check this out: this is a 360º VR image of the historic meeting of President Obama and President-elect Trump at the Oval Office taken yesterday, 10 November 2016. It is licensed to the Agence France-Presse, featured in various news agencies including the Los Angeles Times, and hosted on Roundme.
Learn to Shoot 360° Aerial VR Imagery with Laurence Seberini
There’s a growing trend in the Roundme community of creators publishing amazing aerial spaces shot with a drone. The results are spectacular because now you can see a bird’s eye view of amazing locations like, for example, Paris, the City of Lights!
How would you like to learn how to make aerial spaces yourself? Phantom Filmschool 2 will show how to create professional 360 VR images of you have a DJI Phantom or Inspire.
Phantom Filmschool 2 offers 26 video lectures that comprise 3.5 hours or training. Here’s a sample of what you’ll learn:
Phantom Filmschool 2 is taught by Laurence Seberini, is a VR content creator who’s been at it since 2012. He developed this course because, he said “I love the Phantom 3 but often get frustrated with the remote controller limitations. However, recently with the introduction of autopilot capabilities the Phantom 3 is now capable of amazing cinematic pro shots. I have spent a lot of time figuring out autopilot shots and created this course to share my techniques with you.”
Phantom Filmschool 2 costs $40 but Roundme users can enjoy a 50% discount simply by using this promo link.

At last! Pro Accounts is here!
Today we are very proud to announce the release of a new service - the long awaited and much anticipated Pro Accounts is finally here! Ever since we launched, we’ve been hearing from photographers about how they would love to use Roundme for commercial purposes. So we've built Pro Accounts, a fee-based subscription service and added some tools that we think photographers, architects, real estate professionals, and location-based businesses are going to love.
So what's a Pro Account?
Pro Accounts offers advanced functionality to upload higher quality content with broad usage possibilities. For the price of $8.25 per month Pro Accounts includes:
Unlimited batch uploads.
Highly increased maximum file size up to 65,000 pixels.
Multiresolution support. Large files are resampled to several resolution levels with several tiles in each level.
Custom branded embeds. Ditch Roundme’s logo and feature you and your work by customizing the embeds.
Safe Storage features the ability to retrieve the original files in the event for any they are lost. That means your uploaded content will be stored safe and secure.
Unlisted spaces or "hidden" spaces that require visitors to have the exact link.
Purple PRO badge on your profile distinguishing you from the rest.
Space Upgrades
In addition to these features, Space Upgrades can be purchased on a per space basis. These a la carte services include:
Pro Embeds - Got a client that doesn’t want your logo in their space? Now you can control the branding, appearance and functionality for every single space. ($15 per space/forever).
Privacy & Security - With configurable Privacy settings each Space can be hidden from Roundme listings, and passwords can be set to view it or even set the list of white-listed domains for embedding. ($10 per space/forever).
Coming soon: Custom Maps. Yes, you’ve been asking about this and we’re working on it. Just hang on a little bit long!
For those that use Roundme on a casual basis, you don’t need to upgrade to Pro Accounts. Our Basic Account is free (and will always be forever free). However, uploads are limited to 15 per week.
Other Improvements
The launch of Pro Accounts is only the beginning. Have a look around. We’ve completely redesigned from our desktop version to our mobile version so the Roundme looks great on mobile devices whether or not you use our standalone apps (available on iTunes or Google Play) and added several new features including:
Improved Viewer that includes autorotation, different navigation modes and several 3D projection modes.
Browser VR mode. Just connect your favorite VR headset and experience the world through Roundme.
Panorama Replacement. You can replace the panorama while simultaneously keep all the Portals, Hotspots, Location and other custom settings intact.
A handy Help Center. If you don’t know how to do something on Roundme, go to our Help Center.
Roundme just got a new home - we've moved to www.roundme.com!
We hope that you love what we’ve done to Roundme. Have a go with our new bells and whistles and make some noise! As always we appreciate your feedback, so let us know what you think of our new Pro Accounts. The Roundme Team
New Updates to Roundme Android App
We are happy to announce some new cool features that recently became available to our Android app users. We've been asked by many to develop them, so here they are:
Directional Sounds
Now Android users can finally enjoy the directional sounds which became available in the web version a few months ago. Just add your cardboard or other smartphone-based HMD, open a space with sounds and enjoy. (Tip: for the best VR experience, we recommend using headphones.) Check out these amazing spaces with ambient sound: Milky Way from Ocean Path by Aaron Priest and Eastern Nepal - Way to Kanchenjunga by Dmitry Shardakov.
VR Navigation
Our Android users can now explore the app and enjoy astounding content even without leaving VR mode! In addition to traveling through portals within a single space, now you can navigate through the Best New set and author's profiles without removing your HMD. Just look down and a menu of icons will appear. Then gaze on a selection for a few seconds to "click" on your choice.
If you really like a space, remember to look up to " heart" or favorite it. But be careful, don't get completely lost in VR!
Other Improvements
Added VR support for devices with screen size up to 7 inches
Improved motion sensitive navigation support
Portals become slightly smaller in VR mode
Enhanced World Map and Search screens
Improved overall stability and user experience
Bug fixes
So download Roundme for Android today. Please let us know what you think because we value and appreciate your feedback to make improvements in the next version moving forward.
All of us on the Roundme team hope you will enjoy the experience of seeing the world around you!
Discover SellFable City by artist Daniël van Nes this Sunday, 13 March 2016
Artist Daniël van Nes has brought his dark realm of SellFable City to Roundme with an incredible series VR art spaces that feature a living, breathing, machine world thriving on the energy of its peculiar inhabitants.
Like an ink stain, it slowly creeps into our realm and is best experienced using a Google Cardboard with Roundme's app available for iOS and Android smartphones.
You can visit SellFable City through an artists reception at TETEM’s medialab entitled "Circuit City" this Sunday, 13 March at 3 pm where there will be a performance by the artist. TETEM's medialab is located at Stroinksbleekweg 16, 7523 ZL Enschede, The Netherlands.

How to experience VR and virtually travel the world on the cheap with Roundme
Roundme lets you view 360-degree photos in VR mode with Google Cardboard on both iOS and Android phones. The neat thing about this humble little cardboard is that it democratizes the VR experience by lowering the barriers to entry and brings virtual reality to the masses with a low-cost solution.
However, we recently discovered that not all Android smartphones are the same. In fact, a few are quite dumb and that old adage "you get what you pay for" is true.
To enable VR mode on Roundme with an inexpensive off-brand Android smartphone, be sure to read the specs before making a purchase. VR mode only works if the device has both an accelerometer and a gyroscope. You need both sensors or it just won't work.
In the photo above the BLU Studio 5.0 HD ($129 on Amazon) on the left has the winning combination but the HUAWEI G620S ($135 on eBay) on the right does not.
(Note to iPhone users: you're set. You don't even need to keep reading this post. Just slip your phone into a Google Cardboard and have fun. Your Android pals will catch up with you.)
So save all your bitcoins with Roundme's inexpensive VR experience because Oculus Rift ships on March 28th for $599; HTC Vive ships April 5th for $799; and Microsoft's HoloLens is expected to ship later this month at a whopping $3000.
Until then, you can download Roundme for free at the App Store or the Play Store. Cardboards start at about two bucks on Amazon.
Paired with the right cheapie phone, you just might be amazed. Don't forget about us now! Send us a postcard from the places you'll go with Roundme!
Everybody Poops - A Collection of Toilets, Latrines and WCs in #VR #VirtualReality #WorldToiletDay
Space by khlebnikov317
In recognition of World Toilet Day, Roundme presents this special collection of toilets around the globe. Two years ago, the United Nations General Assembly officially designated November 19 as World Toilet Day to bring awareness to human beings who do not have access to a toilet.
For people in developed countries, flushing a toilet and turning on a tap is taken for granted. But of the entire world population, 2.4 billion people do not have improved sanitation and 1 billion people still defecate in the open. Poor sanitation increases the risk of disease and malnutrition, especially for women and children.
This post is intended to share VR imagery of toilets and to advance the discussion of sanitation as a global development priority. On this World Toilet Day, speak up and demand that more is done. #Wecantwait.

“Brave Heroes” - A New Collection Honoring Veterans Day #VR #VirtualReality #GoogleCardboard
WWII Ardennes American Cemetery and Memorial in Neupré, Belgium by Thierry Lechanteur
In the USA where Roundme is based, Veterans Day commemorates the anniversary of the signing of an armistice agreement which ended hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany during World War I. On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the suspension of hostilities went into effect.
In 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11th as Armistice Day with the following words, "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."
In 1936 President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed Armistice Day to Veterans Day by stating, "In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose."
While many allied nations still call it “Armistice Day” yet in the UK it is called Armed Forces Day, also known as Remembrance Day.
Roundme has curated this special collection of spaces to commemorate a nation’s veterans. And we ask you to take some time to reflect on those who have served your country in times of war and peace.

World War II Memorial - U.S. Guadalcanal Campaign in Honiara, Solomon Islands by Nick Hobgood
Hello Roundme community! It's only been a few months since IVRPA Prague where we announced that we are working on some new developments for the Roundme app. Well, today we are proud to announce the long awaited and much anticipated Android version of Roundme, available for free in the Google Play store.
Now Android users can enjoy Roundme just like iPhone users. In developing Roundme for Android, we listened to our users feedback and thoughtfully designed the app based on that feedback. The main focus of Roundme for Android is that it is intended for content creators to showcase their spaces and for visitors to explore and enjoy your beautiful content.
So now, without further ado, here's a quick rundown of some of the coolest new features you can start using today:
For starters, Android users can enjoy a state-of-the-art interactive virtual reality experience with Google Cardboard and other HMD VR headsets including Samsung Gear VR, Zeiss VR One and Homido just to name a few.
We also incorporated social media interactivity where users can like, comment, follow and view your content feed.
Roundme also features a motion-sensitive panorama viewer where users can hold up their mobile device and move it around in space as if they are peering through a window.
In addition to the VR experience, Roundme for Android is completely optimized for phones and tablets. However, bear in mind that this is just the first version and that there will be new features coming very soon including offline spaces and directional sound.
So go ahead and check it out by downloading Roundme for Android now. Please let us know what you think because we value and appreciate your feedback to make improvements in the next version moving forward.
All of us on the Roundme team hope you will enjoy the experience of seeing the world around you!
Trick or treat! Our newest collection entitled "Final Destinations" features tombs, crypts, graveyards, and cemeteries from around the world.
One cemetery, the Jewell Cemetery, is considered one of the most haunted places in Columbia, Missouri. Can you see the ghost of William Jewell? Neither could we, but we keep looking for a mummy in the Tomb of King Ramses III in Egypt. And make no bones about it: the spooky Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic should not be missed.
These and many more spaces can be seen in this collection. Simply click here or on the image above to pay your respects!
Happy Halloween!
Space of the Week: Liege Cathedral and Treasury- Cathédrale Saint Paul Liège, Belgium #TravelTuesday
This week's Space of the Week also has the distinction of being an Editor's Pick. It's a stunning's virtual tour of the Liege Cathedral and Treasury in Belgium founded in the 10th century, reconstructed between the 13th and 15th centuries, and restored in the mid-19th century. Space by photographer Thierry Lechanteur.
The city of Welland in Ontario Canada did something really amazing for Breast Cancer Awareness Month: they lit up Bridge 13 in pink!
Photographer Clay Morehead was on hand to capture the moment in 360.
Space of the Week: Back To The Future Tribute in #VR by @vzletit #VirtualReality #GoogleCardboard
The future has arrived! Thirty years after the release of Back to the Future, virtual reality content creator Дима pays tribute to this classic film with this delightful interactive image.
But like Doc said: "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!" :)
Space of the Week: Syrian Refugee Camp at Parc Maximilien, Brussels, Belgium #RefugeeCrisis
A Syrian refugee camp of approximately 1,000 people sprawls across Brussels’ Parc Maximilien while across the street, a refurbished government houses 500 more.
According to the Guardian, these refugees are encamped in the mushrooming tent city, which now has a school, hospital, canteen and sanitary facilities, all provided by an ad hoc alliance of social networks and NGOs. Belgian officials say they are facing the country’s worst ever refugee crisis, with more than 4,600 people making asylum requests in August alone.

Space of the Week: Marienkirche Frankfurt/Oder, Germany, by Photographer Herwig Niggemann
The bells are ringing in this lovely virtual tour of the former main church of Frankfurt at Oder, Germany. This space incorporates "directional sound", the newest feature on Roundme.
New Hot Features are Here!
Here at Roundme we decided to brighten up your day with news about the hot new features coming in this update. We are sure you’ll love them, and hope they will help tide you over until the highly anticipated Pro Accounts and Space Upgrades become available. Alright, without further ado, here’s what we’ve got for you today:
Directional Sounds
Original Panorama by Masato OTA
Yes, you read that right! Directional sound opens up new and exciting dimension of storytelling. Now, besides text, video, and graphics, you can use narrative tracks, background sounds, and (rights cleared) soundtracks with your panoramas. The sound is directional - that is, the viewer will understand what part of the panorama the sound comes from. For now we support mp3 files no greater than 5MB in size, and no more than three sound clips per panorama. Let your imagination to be the only limit for storytelling on Roundme. Keep in mind that we will be developing this feature in further releases.
Collections
Original panoramas by Tanja Barnes and Aram Pan
Another interesting feature we’ve prepared for the fearless Roundme explorers is the addition of thematic collections of spaces. Our editors will painstakingly select the best and most compelling spaces created by our users, sort them by theme, location, or idea, and combine them into collections. This gives you one more juicy opportunity to present your wonderful content and attract even more viewers. By the way, in the next Roundme releases there will be the ability to create your own collections out of the spaces you create. This is pretty neat, huh?
Improved Search
We have rebuilt the spaces search engine from the ground up. The search algorithm incorporated during search by name or description has been improved. In addition, you are now able to search by location as well! To find spaces in a particular location, start typing the location name in the search field and choose the one you are looking for from the drop-down list. On top of that, search results can now be sorted by category - more on that later.
Categories
We’ve received a lot of feedback asking for this feature, and indeed, it should have been there from the word go. But better late than never, eh? Now every Roundme space can be assigned up to three categories from the list of ten possible pnes. The list of available categories will grow over time, and we would love to hear your feedback regarding what categories we would be crazy not to add ASAP. To choose the categories for a space, use the Space Settings dialog. To explore the categories, use the search icon in the Explore section.
Dozens of small improvements
Our modesty dictates that we do not speak about each of over 170 issues that were resolved in this release, but rest assured that your Roundme experience will be noticeably enriched by all these fixes delivered by a team of Santa elves hard at work. As usual, we love hearing your feedback, ideas, suggestions, and/or spontaneous love confessions, so keep ‘em coming.
Until next time!
