You can see what the application allows in these screenshots:


Create subfolder in the "Movies folder" in the Internal (shared) storage. Copy your 360 degree videos in the subfolder.

You can create more subfolders in the "Movies folder".

You can copy also your own "map.jpg, map.jgw" raster map in the subfolder.

The name of the raster map has to be map.jpg and the name of the referenced file has to be map.jgw.

You can copy also your own "*.mpw" file in the subfolder.

You can write your own data in the "*.mpw" file.

Metadata.

In the application, I enabled the use of a custom file ("*.mpw") with three basic metadata:

Latitude, longitude, user comment data.


When making a video using a 360 degree camera, a "gpx" file is also generated.

This "gpx" file can be used to insert map data directly into the video.

Watch my video preview with map data embedded.

Notice how the cursor moves around the maps with the changing position.

Look video HERE.

About the possibility of inserting map data into the video - sometime in the next blog.


360 degree videos can also be viewed on YouTube.

Because the display is small, SwiftKey keyboard is not wery good - small keys.
It is necessary to use a customized Keyboard.
Some watches already have it pre-installed.
