3D Pano: Powerhouse Computer Classroom

Something I had a chance to experiment with at my former job at WRAL.com was creating 3D panoramic images. The basic idea is, you take 6 shots around a circle, then one up and down. Using some powerful software (I use PTMac), you stitch all the images together into a cube which allows the user to view a scene from your point of view 360 degrees around and 180 degrees up and down. For more technical info on how this is done (for the geeks out there), check out this page. I hope to shoot many more of these in the remaining months we’re here, so stay tuned!
