How to create a 360 image viewer step by step
Step 1 — Creating a New Project
In this step, we need to create a new project folder and files(index.html, style.css, main.js) for creating a 360 image viewer. In the next step, you will start creating the structure of the webpage.
Step 2 — Setting Up the basic structure
In this step, we will add the HTML code to create the basic structure of the project.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>How to display a 360 image in HTML?</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
This is the base structure of most web pages that use HTML.
Add the following code inside the <body> tag:
<div id="panorama-360-view"></div>
Step 3 — Add Pannellum library and main js file
<!-- Pannellum library -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pannellum/2.5.6/pannellum.css"
integrity="sha512-UoT/Ca6+2kRekuB1IDZgwtDt0ZUfsweWmyNhMqhG4hpnf7sFnhrLrO0zHJr2vFp7eZEvJ3FN58dhVx+YMJMt2A=="

<!-- End Pannellum library -->
<script src="main.js"></script>

margin: 0;
}
#panorama-360-view {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
