OK folks
I am ready with my 5h exhibition visit of Globorama. here some facts:
- They use some WWP apparently form 2006 and before
- the panos are used in a partial non interactive cylindrical
projection and it bears several times on the 360 degrees the name of
the photographer.
- The panos are coming from their local server
- the satellite maps used are NOT from Google Earth, but Microsoft
according them, due too license problems wit GE......
- whatever I could capture on video will be put together showing as an
evidence with the name of the photographer and the pano This movie
should be online in a few hours from now.
- asking about when Globorama was developed they answered from 2006
onwards.
- next planned exhibitions are planned in France and Seville Spain.
- as already known from their website, they show WWP panoramas from
their local server and live webcams is the only content being streamed.
- the navigation with the laser pointer is way cool.
OK now putting the movie together... while traveling at 250km/h
towards my home in Bremen...
And then lets decide what to do with them....
Quite a lot of public and sponsor money went to this project...
