Panoblogging live from Photokina!

Posted by Ian Wood. on Tue, 2008-09-23 16:46

The first day at Photokina has been a great success, with lots of visitors looking at the panoramic prints, VRs and three gigapixel prints. The talks and workshops have also been well attended.

The big news, however, is that the pano-blog is now up and running - search by day, location or photographer.

The Next World Wide Panorama Event

Submitted by GDonaldBain on Sat, 2008-09-06 18:21.

As our planet whirls through space it once again approaches a position halfway between the mid-summer and mid-winter Solstices, that place and time we call the Equinox. Day and night will be of equal length at all latitudes. For the northern hemisphere summer officially ends and autumn begins, south of the equator goes from winter to spring.

To celebrate this auspicious point in the space-time continuum we invite you to participate in the twentieth edition of the World Wide Panorama.

VRMAG, one of the VR industry's institutions, is back after a small hiatus. From Marco Trezzini's announcement:

You're just a click away from VRMAG's relaunch issue 28:
the most complete ever published with 45 articles, 11 contributing
writers and panoramas from 29 contributing photographers.

In addition to the simplified and interactive panorama navigation we
added a panoramic leaflet, as a new navigation method to access to
the articles. VRMAG also has a new blog and a Yahoo group.
