A challenge to Panographers around the world

Sorry for the cross post, I can't decide if this fits better on the
PanoToolsNG or the WWP group!
Hello,
I have a challenge for all of you.
Several times was discussed on this list the way to get us off the
virtual screen into the real world.
One way to do this is to build life size cubes and print the inside
panels with the cubic projections that we use to make cubic QTVR files
(although with more resolution) so that a person could walk in and feel
like it was there.
Well, yesterday was talking about this with the owner of an important
Art Gallery here in Portugal, and he is interested in making a big show
using this concept.
He has the space needed and will finance the building of the boxes, I
happen to own a Large Format Print Center here in Portugal and I can
print the whole thing as big as needed, all together we have the
creative drive needed to make this a success.
This is not like printing equirectangular images that most people can't
figure out what it is, this is about capture some point of view
somewhere around the world and displaying it 180x360? elsewhere
retaining the same perspective, a truly immersive feeling.
The question is, can this be done?
I don't know if it will work out, I only promise I will try to make it work.
We have to decide how to make this cubes.
We have to decide a theme for it.
We have to decide some technical aspects like resolution and the file
size of the cubes.
Can we make this into art objects?
Let's discuss this and if more people then me are interested in this
please come out and say it.
