Was this flawless Photo Sphere panorama taken with a Google Nexus 4 on a tripod?

Big deal or not, Google should apologize on this.

We all know the Nokia OIS fiasco. Conceptually Nokia also had a defending statement, because they never claimed that the footage was taken by L920, still they apologized.

Google should take that as example and release a small apology. That's all they need.

Your should know that an advertisement is generally different from the actual thing. Turn on your TV and you see it in almost all ads.

A small apology won't hurt. It's not like they totally clean, they showed a lady taking this pic, while real job was done by a tripod.
Tell me if I'm wrong.

I saw an ads yesterday, a boy drank some kind of milk and he grew 10cm something in an instant.

Do you think the milk producer should apologize too?

I saw a TOYOTA in an ads which looked glossy and decidedly different from the same TOYOTAs on the streets. Should TOYOTA apologize?

I'm just talking about what you're arguing Wendy with.
You are biased towards Google and Android.

May be, so you should point out what the bias is :)

Right, it's doesn't matter.

It would have difference if Google claimed this is "SAMPLE" taken by N4.

Nokia got a lot of heat b-c the L920 "samples" were in fact taken by a DSLR.

At least Nokia apologies for faking it LOL

haha, NOKIA lied, they showed the "SAMPLES" and samples mean to be real.

ads do not mean real generally.

that also an ads bro LOL

but hey, google removed the video... probably a sign to apologies LOL

Did you follow the Nokia case? It was not an ad, it was samples. Nokia also had many L920 night photo "samples" which were in fact taken by a DSLR.

Haha true. Fanboys going wild, they see every other platform/OS glowing with red color. Motto is, 'We are always true'.
Gimme a break.

lol google not faking this, because this taken using N4, not using DSLR

using tripod or not is optional.

Yes, Its an ad and not a "Sample".. Nothing wrong in it..

No big deal. I was too eager to buy Nexus 4 because of android 4.2 and it's features like photosphere but had to compromise on low space, mediocre camera and lack of lte. But then I saw a Galaxy Note 2 video on youtube which had a custom rom showing the same photosphere feature with better quality. My doubts have been cleared. Note 2 it is.

Whether the Photo Sphere image was taken with a Google Nexus 4 on a tripod or not, it doesn't really matter. At least google is showing off a revolutionary new feature may it bring good images or not..

If only people could be so inteligent at time the OIS fiasco happened...
Anyway, an example such as this is good of displaying the concept. For actual performance, we are waiting for real photosphere captures!

Tripod or not, it was taken with a Nexus 4. Unlike Nokia who misled their customer by using a DSLR.

6. eisenbricher posted on 1 hour ago 0 1

No proof that it's even taken with N4.

I'm kidding of course, when a little doubt creeps in, you can assume every possible conspiracy, no?

This is like deja vu... same happened with the 920 but later they proved their ability. I hope google should do the same, show some real world examples!

7. whencatsruletheworld posted on 1 hour ago 1 0

Yeah i guess so. Lets all wait for real world examples! (Y)

Well... as a panoramic shot, the center appears to be the least distorted portion of the image while the further you get towards the edges you have more and more distortion.
If the "tripod" is supposed to be the shadow we on the bottom of the photo, just to the right of center then it must have some really funky curved legs to appear as straight as they do. Just take a look at the lights top center, the floor boards, or hell, even the rug...

Dude it's clearly showing curved legs.

There was also a story on...AndroidPolice I believe? That looked into the Beta version of certain system files in 4.2

Funny enough, the instructions that were supposed to pop up the first time you used Photosphere (Then called something completely different, being Beta) said to rotate around the phone, acting as though it's on a tripod.

This is exactly how you are SUPPOSED to do it, though a little less shaky, since it's on an ACTUAL tripod.

...why was this story even published without research of this kind?
