360° Panoramas
When you click on one of the spheres, the camera moves to its center,

You can only rotate the camera while inside a panorama sphere. Zooming
in and out can be done using the mouse wheel (or by pinching/spreading
on mobile devices).
You can choose the most recently activated panoramas in chronological
order from the drop-down list. Choosing one transitions the view to that
specific sphere.

overlaid panorama image, allowing you to increase or decrease its
visibility.
