Abstract: An event data and location-linked spherical imaging system including a spherical imager configured for capturing a spherical image with an action; a localization device collocated with the spherical imager, the localization device configured for providing a location of the spherical imager; a level collocated with the spherical imager, the level configured for indicating an imaging level of the spherical imager; an event data receiver configured for receiving event data from a user, the event data is associated with one or more points of interest on the spherical image; and a compass configured for providing an orientation of the spherical imager in capturing the spherical image, wherein the orientation and location-linked event data is accessible within the context of the spherical image. In one embodiment, the spherical imager includes no more than two imagers. In one embodiment, the action is a single capture.
