Carrara is really not meant for this. Unless you model and texture the entire house. What you are looking for is kind of what Apple had a few years ago called QuckTime VR. VR standing in for virtual reality.

I don't now much about this subject but from what little I learned you get a tripod with a wide angle lens. You shoot a picture and you move the tripod. If I recall, they have specialized computerized tripods that you hook to a laptop and it dose the moving. But it can also be achieved by a crafty person.

After acquiring the photographs, their is software that helps you seem them in to a cohesive pattern that would simulate the inside of a sphere, with your photos perfectly seemed. This might be that software that you say costs $50, but I am speculating.

Again, Carrara is not designed for this, but I guess it could be done by texturing the inside of a sphere, if it is even possible. The problem would be to get the correct output file that could be read by a web browser.
