GigaPan

GigaPans are large quality panoramas, which you can click and zoom in to see incredible details. It is much easier to explore them than describe them. So click here and have a look. Being able to produce these for the Gordon St. Project will be of great value, not only to explore the Gordon St. area but also across the region. They are also developing macro Gigapans, so you can explore images taken using a microscope to explore the microscopic world for example a barnacle. Sounds boring? Well have a look here.
Other developments include using the same concept but applied to time lapse films and an interesting education project, you can watch the video below. Lastly they have just finished a Bioblitz using peoples gigapans and when there is more information on this I shall put here. Overall the system provides huge potential for us to use in all sorts of creative and exciting ways.
