The VR Photography Revolution

Easypano is developing Tourweaver Lite (temporary name), and it is specilized in converting spherical panoramas and cylindrical ones to flash panoramic tour directly. As flash player is more and more popular and this tool will be widely used in creating flash panos.

After my 'fun' with MySQL, I indulged in something less strictly necessary for the site, but a lot more enticing to do: Add some integration with the World Wide Panorama project.

On the front page, you might have noticed a thumbnail and link to the World Wide Panorama of the day. The contents of the block are aggregated once a day from the pano of the day RSS feed. This itself is cool enough, but there's more, if you look very carefully...

I have added a field to the profile settings for registered users of the IVRPA site to link to their World Wide Panorama people page. See for example my profile, which includes a link to my World Wide Panorama profile under 'Personal Information'. Note that if you want to add a similar link in your own profile page, you may have to edit your profile (go to 'My profile' in the 'logged in as...' menu in the top left corner, and find the 'personal information tab').

To celebrate the New Year 2006, over 300 VR photographers from around the world have contributed their "best of 2005". This is the latest edition of the World Wide Panorama, an event that is now two years old, and has had 600 participants. The site features over 1700 VR panoramas.

Best of 2005 showcases scenes from 52 countries. The panoramas are listed by photographers' name, and countries and regions of the world. There are also world and regional maps with clickable dots, and references from each panorama to MultiMap and Google Maps. Information about connecting WWP and Google Earth will be available soon.
