Gigapan

Check out the gigapan website! It is a collection of explorable panorama pictures.

 I was recently selected to beta test a robotic panorama camera mount. I’m looking forward to getting it! I’ll be able to share this region much more fully in a visual manner.

Basically, the image is made up of 200 or 300 zoomed in pictures. The technology lets you view all the pictures seamed together and then zoom into a point of interest–kind of like Google Earth. In fact this will be working with Google Earth.

I’m excited to be one of the first to use this technology, I’m so impressed with the beauty of this area. I’ll post links to the panoramas as I post them.

As it is now, you’ll find many of them to be interesting, check it out! If the concept intrigues you, the robot is supposed to be avaiable for general purchase in the spring.
