Updated Google+ API allows you to embed Photo Sphere images on the web

Undoubtedly, one of the coolest camera features Android 4.2 Jelly Bean brought was the Photo Sphere. Shooting a full 360-degree panorama both horizontally and vertically allows you to capture everything surrounding you, Street View style.

Sadly, so far you could only view the Photo Sphere images on either Google+ or on another droid running Android 4.2. Not anymore though, as the Google+ Platform API has been updated to allow web developers include Photo Spheres they’ve taken or from around the web on their own website.

To embed a Photo Sphere photo on your own website, the photo has to be on Google+ and PicasaWeb (which is the same thing as of recently). Here’s an example taken directly from Google. It looks neat, doesn’t it?
