AI-Powered 360 Panoramas: Unveiling Challenges for Realistic XR Prototyping

This paper explores and evaluates the main limitations associated with AI-based 360 panorama generation. We make use of a free AI-based 360 panorama generator, Skybox AI, to highlight some of the current limitations present in automatic panorama generation from text input. By recognizing and addressing these constraints, researchers and practitioners can pave the way for enhanced al-gorithms and systems capable of delivering more immersive and realistic panoramic experiences.
