Walking with AIDS

a 360° panoramic scrapbook from Mozambique

Designed for a general audience not at all aware of what qtvr is, and with the International AIDS conference in mind.
Going fullscreen was not required here (but you'll find them eventually), but rather I was looking for a simple & accessible canvas to tell a story, and convince an audience of the possibilities of QTVR.

Thoughts, opinions, rants, questions, your feedback is welcome

This is such a nice way of using interactive panoramas that I've decided to promote the post to the front page! Great stuff.

If there are people with similarly interesting projects or with important announcements, be sure to post about them in the forums!

Leading the Way!

Congrats on this memorable work. Your VRs are captivating and the design of the website works very well, love the scrapbook idea.

I think this is what VR photography is about. Immersing viewers in the realities of our world. A strong tool used to show a demanding issue. And Thank you Mickael (and others) for leading the way.

Tech specs and telling a story

Submitted by Michael Quan on Wed, 2006-08-30 17:35.

I recently attended a talk by some newspaper photographers who are doing video, stills, and audio
to present their stories. Mostly they were doing narrated slide shows in Flash, which was effective,
but I had to ask about panoramas. Unfortunately, they weren't doing panos yet, but they
were interested. Your work in Walking With Aids, shows an effective way of linking images and
sound. All photo discussions involve tech talk: What camera? lens? shots? how was audio recorded?

tech specs

Submitted by Mickael Therer on Wed, 2006-09-13 00:04.

not all photo discussions should involve tech discussions imho, and there would be plenty to be said about "photo" vs "vr" "prints" vs "online" etc… before that and also about the share of mind/market that could be gained by vr in the traditional media and how we're going to achieve that.
The last thing I want is being techie about anything I do, in other words why does photography have to be about camera gears when Alex Majoli manages without ?
;-)

*The specs*
After this experience this combo is going to change anyway but the answer for now is Nikon d2x & d100, nikkor10.5, 12-24 & 18-70 manfrotto tri&monopod +303sph or handheld, ptgui/ptmac, cubicconverter, phostoshop, capture (everything that's available really),… a powerbook 17 or a sony Vaio & 2 la cie drives for on site backups. For sound sony HI-MD mz-rh 910 with omni/binaural mics(3) + a sony camera with a cardioid mic mount(1), peak 4, final cut studio, quicktime,flash … a mobile multimedia studio.
Props include lots of Castel beer and even more water on location, a bit of knowledge of local languages and a Xsara Picasso as a sound studio for self-interviews back home …
