Is this the world's first digital infrared black and white 360 spherical panorama ?

Submitted by rodedwards on Wed, 2008-01-23 11:57.

Hi !
I've just joined the IVRPA and I'm still finding my bearings with this site and the organisation - so please bear with me!
I shot this QTVR of Avebury Stone Circle in Wiltshire near Stonehenge back in October 2007 and wonder if it may be the world's first black and white digital infrared 360 spherical panorama ?
I've seen colour infrared but never black and white digital ...
Does anyone else have links or experience of this type of vr tour ?
Would love to get some feedback and /or see some other examples ...
Thanks !
Rod Edwards

Rob - nice pano! But definitely not the first interactive IR pano... ;-)

I seem to remember Romuald Vareuse from Reunion Island posting one a couple of years before that, but I've not managed to find it yet.

... but those aren't spherical...

Anyway, I think it is safe to say that it is going to be VERY hard to have a 'first' in our industry; panoramic photographers are generally a very creative bunch, or they would not be doing panoramas. And creative people do lots of interesting stuff ;-)

Even things like the 'little planet' projections that were popularised a couple of months ago were used eg by panoramic painters in the 19th century to make floorplans of their exhibitions. I have even heard someone say that the Romans (or were it the Greek? Egyptians?) made starmaps in similar projections, but I don't know the details.
