Photo Spheres are stored as JPEG files, and all of the information required to view them is embedded as open XML metadata in the image itself. You'll be able to peek 'em on your phone or share them easily through Google+, and perhaps best of all, publish them to Google Maps for the world to see.

In Photo Sphere mode, you can capture the world around you: create fully immersive 360-degree shots, wide-angle scenic shots, and even what’s above and below you.
From Camera's main screen, touch the current mode icon and then the Photo Sphere icon.
An alignment box with a doughnut-shaped target appears, with the message “Align to start.”
Adjust the camera position so that the floating dot is precisely at the center of the doughnut target. It takes a few seconds for the camera to calibrate the scene as you hold the camera steady. When you succeed, a blue Shutter button with a white square appears below the image. Do not touch the button yet.
Move the camera laterally, up, or down. The alignment box and floating dot reappear. Align so that the floating dot is at the center.
When you succeed, a second image automatically appears next to the first.
Keep moving the camera, repeating the previous step, until you have photographed the entire scene you want to capture.
Touch the Shutter button to capture the Photo Sphere.
It takes a minute or two for the photo to render. You can preview it as it renders.
To view your most recent Photo Sphere, swipe left on the main camera screen, and touch the Photo Sphere icon to pan automatically through the shot. You can also drag to move through the captured scene.
To share a PhotoSphere that you're viewing in Gallery, touch the Share icon
and select a sharing method.
