Abstract
A panorama is a wide-angle view of a real world. Panoramas provide users real world information as the component of map services. Recently researchers try to augment additional information on panoramas to extend the usefulness of panoramas. However, the existing researches and applications provide users inconsistent experience by augmenting information on a single panorama. To solve this inconsistency, we present an authoring system helping users create contents on panoramas. Users create contents by augmenting virtual information on panoramas using the authoring system that propagates virtual information augmented on one panorama to neighboring panoramas. The resulting contents provide users consistent viewing experiences. Users can experience the contents on their desktop or they can view the contents on a smartphone display at the locations near to the locations panoramas were captured.
