Hello!
>There's a group of pano enthusiasts covering the event right now in
>360 degrees. Check out http://photokina.ivrpa.org.
I was there two times (at Hall 05.1, iirc)
Visiting is well worth it.
There are some very large pictures and a bit of equipment to view.
And, more important, one can talk with Hans Nyberg, Aldo Hoeben,
Michale Quann and several other panorama-enthusiasts. Also there are a
lot of interested passers-bye.

All in all this was a great "Panorama-Week" for me. On Sunday and
Monday there was the IAPP- Meeting in Cologne, where I could listen to
such persons as Michael Westmoreland ( read more at
http://www.medienfrech.de/randgebiete/360_Grad/index.html) and other
great panographers. And I sat right next to Jook Leung, that's like
sitting next to Eric Clapton is for a guitarist ;-)
On Wednesday and Friday I visited the IVRPA and had again a lot of
interesting talks to other panoramagraphers. All very nice people!
Also there was some new hardware to view at the stands of Seitz and
others. And Realviz presented a new tour-software, called VTour, whicg
is promissing some very smart 3D possibilities for and from Panoramas.
So Cologne was the world headquarter of Panorama this week (and I was
happy to have the chance to participate).
