GigaPan

A site filled with panoramas, both exterior and interior. Here's part of a panorama of Pittsburgh.

GigaPan consists of three technological developments: a robotic camera mount for capturing very high-resolution (gigapixel and up) panoramic images using a standard digital camera; custom software for constructing very high-resolution gigapixel panoramas; and, a new type of website for exploring, sharing and commenting on gigapixel panoramas and the detail our users will discover within them. The GigaPan website allows hosting and sharing all kinds of panoramas, and so the robotic GigaPan mount is recommended but is certainly not required to be part of this community.

[...]

The GigaPan team is both diverse and large. Here we recognize the institutions that comprise our core team.

* Carnegie Mellon University
* NASA/Ames Research Center
* Google Corporation - Financial support for the Global Connection Project
* Charmed Labs LLC - GigaPan robot design and production
* DeepLocal, Inc. - Website design and production
