One of the biggest highlights of Android's jump to 4.2 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/google-bumps-android-to-4-2-keeps-jelly-bean-moniker/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) was the addition of Photo Sphere (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/android-photo-sphere-panorama-google/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), a 360-degree panoramic shooting mode that pans vertically as well as horizontally. It's a neat trick, but the only way to share it was on Google+ or on a device running Android 4.2 or higher. Now, thanks to a new widget that utilizes the Google+ Platform API (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/google-finally-gets-an-api-doesnt-do-much-yet/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), you can embed an interactive 360-degree slideshow on any website you choose -- so long as your photos are stored on G+ and PicasaWeb. If you're willing to play around with a bit of code, have a peek at the source to get started.
