Excellent solution on desktop, not so much on mobile.
-
To begin with, this is really one of the best solution on desktop, as it allows easy viewing with mouse movement, does not affect scrolling, and still displays the picture quite nicely when JS is not available.
As a design choice, on mobile platforms the movement is controlled by gyroscope, which is also quite intuitive when user figured that out, but only when the phone is being viewed with screen mostly parallel with the ground. It works dramatically worse, flashing from left to right, when the phone is operated perpendicular to the ground, like when lying down on one side, and it is rather annoying.
I really hope to see this gets resolved, such as on mobile the gyroscope position could be saved when the JS loads and movement is based on the delta values from the initial position. I know this is quite unlikely since it is an issue derived from the underlying solution, which has not been updated for years. For the time being, I am converting panorama pictures to 360 sphere to use other solutions out there.
