Contributing to Panoramax means participating in the development of a geo-common, a sovereign, free and reusable digital resource. Each geolocalized photo published on Panoramax can be used by anyone for a variety of purposes, for example by a local authority needing to observe the status of its roads, or by a telecoms operator to prepare an intervention. Each contributor can send their image sequences, modify them and consult them, as well as all the views - 360° or not - contributed by the community. The compulsory blurring of faces and license plates is automated on the platform.

Although it's possible just to use a smartphone for image capture, 360 images (photospheres) are the best way to take in the totality of a scene.

The GoPro Max is the current standard recommendation but it's also quite pricey for the individual. Has anyone tried any alternatives? How did it go?
