I made this photos some time ago. But today I tried to create a panorama out of it that Google Photo recognise as panorama. This is necessary to view the panorama with my Daydream VR headset.(https://vr.google.com/daydream/)
This is what it looks in Google Photos:
I used this command to add the metadata:
exiftool -ProjectionType="equirectangular" -UsePanoramaViewer="True" -"PoseHeadingDegrees<$exif:GPSImgDirection" -"CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels<$ImageWidth" -"CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels<$ImageHeight" -"FullPanoWidthPixels<$ImageWidth" -"FullPanoHeightPixels<$ImageHeight" -CroppedAreaLeftPixels="0" -CroppedAreaTopPixels="0" NAME.jpg
This command works wine with a real equirectangular panorama from https://hdrihaven.com/
Perhaps this links help:
Btw. With this open source “Photo Sphere Viewer” it works as expected:

I’ve all the Raw files here (CC BY-NC 4.0):

I was so frustrated, that I created a little planet, because that’s something I know how to do:
Please play with the image and show we what you can reach with it. You get an bonus if the image works as a panorama in Google Photos.
