What is 360-degree views?

A 360-degree view is like looking around you from all sides at once, as if you were standing in the middle of a circle and could see everything, front, back, left, right, and even above and below.

Like Being in the Middle of a Circle

Imagine you’re sitting inside a big round room with windows on every wall. No matter where you look, up, down, left, right, or straight ahead, you can see outside. That’s what a 360-degree view feels like: you're surrounded by sight from all directions, just like being in the middle of that round room.

Like Turning Around with Your Eyes Open

Think about when you spin around really fast and then stop, you feel like you saw everything around you at once. A 360-degree view is kind of like that, but without spinning. You get to see all around you, as if you turned your head in every direction at the same time.

With a 360-degree view, there’s no spot you can’t see, it’s like having eyes on all sides!
