1. A computer-implemented method for visualization within a spherical space, the method comprising using a number of processors performing operations of:
capturing a number of images of a product from a capture location defined in a three-point model-based coordinate system to the product and data sets associated therewith;
creating a sphere of projected coordinates based on the capture location;
translating three-point coordinates of reference locations corresponding to the images into spherical coordinates on the sphere;
translating the spherical coordinates of the reference locations into tour scene coordinates;
translating the tour scene coordinates of the reference locations into equirectangular Cartesian coordinates;
displaying, in a user interface, the images according to the reference locations from a perspective of the capture location; and
visualizing, in the user interface for a reference location in the reference locations, specific data from the data sets associated the tour scene coordinates for the reference location.
