Intro: A Minimalist Solution to Make VR Panorama

This is a minimalist solution to make panorama and VR picture, you just need one GoPro or Xiaoyi action camera to make a perfect panorama spherical picture.

STEP 1: Design

i use tinkerCAD to quickly design this single camera panorama mount.

and I've uploaded it to the thingiverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1407440

STEP 2: 3D Print

And i 3D print the single camera panorama mount with the following print settings:

Rafts: Yes

Supports: No

Resolution: 0.2

Infill: 25%

you can find 3D print files on my thingiverse in the last step.

STEP 3: Shooting

Take a picture in each direction, and get six pictures.

STEP 4: Other Device

You'd better use the wireless remote control and tripod to avoid shaking.

STEP 5: Stitching

STEP 6: View

I use kolor eyes to view panorama picture and video.

you can download kolor eyes from http://www.kolor.com/fr/kolor-eyes/.

STEP 7: Pano View

STEP 8: VR Mode

STEP 9: Little Planet Mode

STEP 10: Demo

Hey, great Instructable! My printer is allready running. :)

One thing i wonder: How did you find out the angles (horizontal, vertical, and circular) that the Gopro has to be mounted in? Did you practice try and error - or did you have some calculations?
