    In our Daydream app wie integrated Street View on our own to get a better feeling of the location. We built a skybox of the images. Users in the user test always wanted to walk around. Is that allowed to integrate walk-around function? I heard it's not.

    Follow up: Is there a better way than creating a skybox of the images? The API only provides a max field of view of 120 (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/intro?hl=de). The Google Street View VR app seems to use 360° images.

    Kind regards, Fabian

    Hi, integrating Street View sounds like a good idea. Not sure why this would not be permitted, but if you find out about it please post it, I was considering that too.
    Also, instead of a skybox, I am planning to use inward facing spheres with 360 images and move from one camera to another. But I'm incredibly new to unity and this might sound like a joke. It doesn't hurt to try.
    Cheers, F
