Spherical panorama of the Sacred Heart Church (Herz-Jesu-Kirche) in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg.
  • And with this technology, not so many 2D church interiors are going to get FP status. Isn't there a way to show the image in 2D better than this rather weird construction whcih puts me off? Charles (talk) 19:33, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Charles, generally these images are shot with an ultra-wide angle lens or a fisheye lens, and aren't nearly as detailed as we have come to expect from the stitched images such as Diliff's, which might be shot with a 50mm lens. I think there's room for both kind of image on Commons. These images are best enjoyed interactively, and that is certainly educational, but have limited use for single frame or print purposes. I think we'll continue to feature lots of 2D church interiors. Compare the level of detail in File:Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Innenraum, Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, 150806, ako.jpg, which is also deserving of FP imo. -- Colin (talk) 07:55, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question How are these images made ? Certainly not consumable in print format/and can be made sense only with an interactive viewer, and Commons require images that can be seen or printed, right? This feels like a video in the interactive viewer, are these getting FP nominations now ? May be, then the FPC text should be updated. Just, IMHO -- Dey.sandip (talk) 17:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Dey.sandip They are made by stitching together many individual photos using a tool like Hugin or PtGui and choosing an equilateral projection, while ensuring the vertical covers 180° and the horizontal 360°. Currently the viewer is experimental tool at wmflabs but the plan is to integrate this into Wikipedia just like viewing a video is integrated into Wikipedia. So they aren't much different to video - a special viewer is required. -- Colin (talk) 20:01, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Dey.sandip: We've already featured a lot of these. I think the educational value of such 3D pictures is extremely high. It gives you a full impression of a building and makes distances and proportions visible in a way a 2D picture never could. I think we should strongly encourage people to create and upload much more of these pictures. Of course that doesn't mean that any of these should be promoted FP but on the other hand why shouldn't the better ones be FP as well as any good 2D picture? --Code (talk) 10:00, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
