360 Panorama – Occip.It View After Saving

Per the comment thread on Occipital’s blog:

This took me a while to find. As I’m in Berlin right now, my phone doesn’t work. I’ve pulled the SIM and I am just using it like an iPod touch. This has been a frustrating experience with regard to 360 Panorama because I rarely have an internet connection at the time that I take the panorama. All I can do is “Save”, and not having it in their nifty “Immersively stunning way” is a bit of a letdown.

The good news is twofold: They’re going to address it in an update AND there’s a way to manually recreate them with your saved image. First, upload them to www.yfrog.com. Luckily, they allow batch uploads. So if you’re like me and took 52 of them, it’s not too much trouble to upload them all.

Then the tedious part: making a list of all of the URLs created by the newly uploaded images. Once you make a list, just replace “yfrog.com/” with  ”occip.it/py” and voila! you have an Occipital magic view of your 360 panorama after saving it.

If anyone has any quick way of creating a list of all of your yfrog images, I’d love to know.

It’s not an elegant solution, but it should work until they update the app.

UPDATE: See comment for some of mine from my trip.

UPDATE 2: Checked for an app store update the very next day and it looks like they’ve addressed the problem.
