# Showing 360 Views with a Sky Ball

This example requires a equirectangular image (show below), which is then
mapped to a sphere as a texture. 

![equirectangular image](figures/farm_house.jpg)

Place the `[farm_house.jpg](figures/farm_house.jpg)` in the path pointed to
by the `static_root` argument of the `Vuer` class. The vuer front end will
try to load from the url `http://localhost:8012/static/farm_house.jpg`.

Here is the expected result:
![marker light](figures/17_sky_ball.png)

```python
from asyncio import sleep
import numpy as np

from vuer import Vuer, VuerSession
from vuer.schemas import DefaultScene, Arrow, Sphere

app = Vuer(static_root="figures")

n = 10
N = 1000

sphere = Sphere(
    args=[1, 32, 32],
    materialType="standard",
    material={"map": "http://localhost:8012/static/farm_house.jpg", "side": 1},
    position=[0, 0, 0],
    rotation=[0.5 * np.pi, 0, 0],
)


@app.spawn(start=True)
async def main(proxy: VuerSession):
    proxy.set @ DefaultScene(sphere)

    # keep the main session alive.
    while True:
        await sleep(10)
```
