Re: A challenge to Panographers around the world

Carlos;
I have an installation that uses panoramic imagery with embedded
media which is projected onto four screens. The engager of the work
stands in the middle of it to interact with it using a "walking
stick" (a modified joy stick with a piece of pine limb attached to
it). I think this adds even more to the immersive experience. If
youall are interested in this setup I can give you more technical
details.
cheers
