K360 allows you to quickly and easily view 360º images directly from any Windows folder on your computer and offers some additional functionality as well. Of course, most photo platforms now provide 360º image viewing support, so why use a third-party tool like this? Well, there are a couple of potential reasons: many viewers are either mobile based, and thus hardly ideal for use with a desktop application like SL), or they rely on images being uploaded to a website first. K360 is a lightweight viewer that supports viewing (or previewing) 360º photographs primarily taken with the Second Life 360º Snapshot viewer, although it works equally well with any composed 360º image, including those produced by 360º cameras and – in the case of Second Life – via third-party HUD systems (see the links at the end of this article for more on these). I first became aware of his work – provided under the Kanae Project banner in 2012, and have documented a number of his applications in these pages.įor his latest product, Yuzuru offers a handy tool that may be appreciated by those who enjoy creating 360º photographs. Yuzuru Jewell is a long-time Second Life user who has, over the years, come up with a number of tools that have been of assistance to SL users in various ways.
