With Sphere, your device is a movable window you control. – Sphere 360 App

I've played around with Sphere a little bit myself, and it does take some practice to get the hang of it. Depending on the lighting and device you have access to, your sphere isn't going to turn out as perfect as you may like. But the fact that this type of photography software is available for free and on mobile devices is pretty remarkable. Just a few years ago you would have to pay hundreds of dollars for software to create these type of panoramas, and it would be a much more complex process.

So even with the learning curve, if you or your students are interested in an alternate way to capture memories with photographs, Sphere is worth checking out.
