Yes it is. I've been using that script to create 360 photos which can be fed into Google's web vr view. [0]

This is really cool, can you explain more how you did this? :)


I don't have the script on hand at the moment. But essentially I take two 180 degree fisheye photos one pointing straight up and one pointing straight down. (for this, I used a homebrew cardboard box and two mobotix cameras)

I then use OP's script to "unroll" each fisheye photo. I then stick them together top to bottom with looks like this:

Which I feed into this:

https://github.com/googlevr/vrview

voila

took a couple hours start to finish.
