GIGAPAN TECHNOLOGY

GIGAPAN TECHThe commercially available GigaPan robotic

mounts turn most digital cameras into extremely high-resolution panoramic imagers. The robotic unit guides the user through setting up a panoramic scene, then automates the image acquisition process, precisely taking individual pictures across a grid. These images are downloaded to a personal computer where free software stitches, renders, and projects the images together into a single explorable super-image. These massive gigapixel-sized images are stored. (1474 MEGA PIXELS)
