Explore360 turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro into a window onto the world — a curated collection of stunning 360° panoramas from Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository, shared under open licences by photographers around the globe. Step inside each scene and look around in every direction, from mountain summits and historic town squares to sweeping coastlines, grand interiors, and city streets at night. Browse beautifully • A fast, edge-to-edge grid of tiny-planet previews you can scroll endlessly. • Filter and sort to surface exactly the views you want. • Tap the heart to keep your favorites close. Explore on a map • See where every panorama was taken on an interactive world map. • Pin a spot with several shots and pick the one you like best. Explore the streets • Drop a pin on the map and step into the 360° view at street level — optionally in full resolution for razor-sharp detail. • Now including user-contributed 360° photos from places no camera car ever reached — mountain tops, trails, indoor spots. • Heart your favorite spots and find them again in the List and on the Map. Step inside • Open any photo to a true 360° view and drag to look around — no roll, no distortion. • Zoom in to inspect the details, then jump to the next, previous, or a random panorama. • On Apple Vision Pro the scene wraps completely around you in full immersion, with a comfort vignette as you turn. Watch together • Share a panorama over FaceTime with SharePlay so everyone explores the same view. • Or create a Room and let others join by name — no FaceTime required (optional password). • Point things out with a laser pointer: everyone gets their own color, labelled with their name. • GeoGame: start a multiplayer guessing game — everyone lands on the same random street-level spot and guesses the place on the map; closest wins. With a 3-2-1 start, timer, scoreboard and a winner podium. Contribute your own • Sign in and upload your own 360° panoramas — with a title, description and map location, for everyone to see. • Set the front so others see the best part first. • You decide whether others may save each one. Make it your own • Import your own equirectangular (2:1) panoramas from Photos or Files. • Organize them into saved lists that sync across your devices via iCloud. • See your geotagged panoramas right on the world map. • Frame any region of a panorama and export it as its own flat image to share or save. Understand every place • Titles and descriptions are translated into your language and shown instantly — with one tap to see the original. • An optional info panel shows the location, capture date, camera, and a map of where the shot was taken. Designed to feel effortless • Native SwiftUI and RealityKit throughout, tuned for each device. • A clean, quiet interface that gets out of the way of the view. Sit back, look up, and travel the planet — one 360° panorama at a time.
