Technology:

• ThreesixtyVR captures panoramic images using the latest digital photographic equipment; A Nikon D200 Dslr capturing 10m pixel frames. Some of the earlier work on this site was captured using a Canon G5 with a wide angle conversion lens and a home made panoramic bracket.

• When combined with an extreme wide angle lens this allows a full 360° image to be created from a minimum of 8 images.

• The camera is mounted on a 'panoramic head' which allows the camera to 'spin' around the entrance pupil of the lens. This ensures perfect alignment when compiling the finished images.

• The resulting batches of photographs are stiched together to create very high quality uncompressed '.tiff' master files, which can be 10,000 x 5,000 [50 million] pixels or greater in size. Very large prints, full of detail, can easily be made fom these files.

• The master images are then optimised, sometimes including HDR processing where appropriate, then resized, optimised again and processed ready for display using the various on-line viewing technologies.
