360-degree photo update…

Some issues with the JAlbum photo gallery software I use have been resolved, and I am running some test code which appears to be working.

Three galleries now have 360-degree photos that let you look around, up and down, using your phone, tablet, or computer. I have no idea how you would view them in a VR helmet, but maybe that is also possible.

Atlas9 – Kansas City, Kansas

Over 100 360-degree images added to the gallery:

Adventureland – Altoona, Iowa

I took an early 360-degree camera with me to the park in 2016. Here is the first batch of photos (over 250 of them):

Of note, this weird two-lens camera got alot of curious looks (well, frankly, even in 2026 360-cameras still get curious looks, though many more people recognize what type of camera it is). I have a gallery of various park managers and staff posing with me in the camera. It was fun to look back on those. Everyone in those photos is ten years older today 😉

I have more, but they were done handheld. Cameras back then did not have all the gyroscope sensors in them, so if I try to view them, they are crooked. I need to take time to level all of them out, then I will have another batch to add to that gallery.

In 2018, Adventureland’s Iowa Cafe was redone into Doc and Leone’s. I captured its opening year in 360-degree as well, plus a few more images from Main Street. Only a few from this visit:

I will be going through my archives and finding more to add. I know I took some at Disneyland (2017-2018 era), and Walt Disney World (2018) as well as Universal Orlando (also 2018), though very few, and most probably are not good enough to share. But we’ll see.

Until then…
