As I was browsing the
competition manual downloads page, the list of "Google Cardboard camera images" caught my eye. I thought it would be cool to see what the field looks like, if only for the drivers to get a better idea of relative distances before actually going to the competition. They seem to be standard panoramic images taken from a smartphone, if the EXIF metadata is to be believed.
I downloaded them to my phone and tried to open them in the "Google street view" app, since it claims to be able to open photo spheres and view them in 3d. However, when I import them, the app won't accept them for whatever reason. I assume that there needs to be a special EXIF tag to indicate they are panoramas, which wasn't included in the download apparently.
So after some research, I went to
http://street-sphere.appspot.com/ and used it to modify the photos to contain the proper tags. I've attached the photos, and you should be able to import these directly into an app like Google street view.
TL;DR - whoever uploaded the panoramas didn't check their work. These will work with Google Cardboard.
PS: if you're wondering why one of them is a zip,
