VR photography (after virtual-reality photography) is the interactive viewing of panoramic photographs, generally encompassing a 360-degree circle or a spherical view. The results is known as VR photograph (or VR photo), 360-degree photo, [1] photo sphere, [2] or spherical photo, as well as interactive panorama or immersive panorama.
The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image.
Circle-Vision 360° developed from the Circarama format, which uses eleven 16 mm projectors. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The first Circarama film was A Tour of the West (1955). [ 2 ] [ 4 ] For the film Italia '61 , the number of cameras was reduced to nine, and the 16 mm film was shown using 35 mm projectors.
It is used to encode and deliver the effect of a spherical, 360-degree image to viewers such as needed for 360-degree videos and for virtual reality. A 360 video projection is a specialized form of a map projection, with characteristics tuned for the efficient representation, transmission, and display of 360° fields of view.
360 photography may refer to: 360 panorama, a photograph spanning a full circle in side; 360-degree video; 360-degree interactive photography; 360 product photography, the rotational photography of a subject

A rotating line camera such as the Panoscan allows the capture of high resolution panoramic images and eliminates the need for image stitching, but immersive "spherical" panorama movies (that incorporate a full 180° vertical viewing angle as well as 360° around) must be made by stitching multiple images.
