What planet are you from?Generate a small-planet from where you are and send it as a postcard to your friends!
This application makes a stereographic projection of your location on the map where Street View is available.
It is also possible to project one photograph coming from the camera roll.
Slide your finger on the screen, and then you can continuously move from a bird's eye view in the sky (mini-planet) to an insect view at ground level!
QUICK START
1) Select the origine of the planet:
a) Either select a place on the map (you can zoom with two fingers).
Then, click on the map where the roads are blues, or drag and drop the orange humanoid on the map.
Push the "Planet" button to generate the planet.
b) Or click on the button Camera to load an existing photo from the gallery (360° panorama or world map give the best result).
2) Adjust the planet like you want with one finger or zoom with two.
3) Push the "Action" button to save the result on Facebook, Twitter, Thumblr, an email or in the photo album.
4) Add a bookmark by pushing the "+" button to get it back later.
