Chester 360 is a iOS iOS application which includes the implementation of a 360° panoramic engine created using native iOS technologies (QuartzCore) and written in objective-c utilising GPS anf gyroscopic sensors. Fundamentally it represents a 'Google street view' style experience developed on the iOS platform around the time google street view itself was being developed.
It was developed by James Pickup for his computer science dissertation in 2012. It uses a bespoke 3D panoramic engine using the cocoa touch and quartz core framework and evaluated the speed and memory utilisation of such an implementation.
