Saw this on reddit..you can take these photo spheres using nothing more than an android phone and the standard google camera app.
The app places multiple "dots" on the phone screen in the centre of each section and you move the target circle over each dot and this constructs the sphere.
Within the camera app select "Photo Sphere" from the left-side pull-out menu.

A great nifty feature.
That's what I used to take these panoramas:

Nice pics! Were your pics dynamic though like in the example I gave? Probably need to be hosted on Google for that Im guessing.

There's a heap of programs that let you do this. I generally just keep the normal image and load it into one of these if needed.

To anyone who has taken a few photospheres, I highly recommend getting a Google cardboard, which you can use to view the photos. Its a surreal experience.
