PanoTools:
Announcing the next World Wide Panorama Event
Landis 2004-Dec-02 23:00:09
Please join us in producing the next World Wide Panorama.
This will be the fourth quarterly event, completing a full annual
cycle. So far a total of 349 people have participated, producing a
wonderful archive of 489 VR panoramas on the web site
(http://WorldWidePanorama.com).
Photography is to be done in the days leading up to the December
Equinox - from Saturday, December 18 to Tuesday, December 21. The
Equinox is the first day of winter in the northern hemisphere, the
beginning of summer in the southern hemisphere.
The theme for this event is "Sanctuary", a term with many meanings,
open to a wide range of creative interpretations. A short essay on
the theme will be e-mailed separately (to the wwp list only), and is
available on the web site
(http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp1204/indextemp.html).
All submissions must be in QuickTime format, a self-contained QTVR
file, either a panorama or an object. Limits for dimensions and file
sizes will be specified. Full information will be posted on the web
site soon.
There will be a week after the shoot for participants to prepare
their imagery and captions. Preliminary versions of the site will be
available to participants only, with a final public version targeted
for January 1, 2005.
Submission of imagery and captions will be easier than ever (thanks
especially to Markus Altendorff), with browser-based forms.
A few enhancements have been added. All captions should be submitted
in English, but there will be provision for versions in other
languages. There will be a new section of participant biographies
(optional), linked to panoramas in this and previous events. Another
optional field will allow you to tell the personal story of your day
of panorama shooting for the event.
As before, this will be a non-commercial event, with the following aims:
- to foster the international community of VR enthusiasts
- to increase general public awareness of VR photography
- to create a showcase for our work
- to create links between VR sites
All work submitted will be copyright by the individual photographers,
and no further use will be made of it without individual permission
(other than for purposes of review and publicity, and thumbnail links
on the FullScreenQTVR site).
If you are interested in the World Wide Panorama please join our
group and get on the mailing list. Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp/ and sign up. You don't need to be
registered to participate, but it is a good way to keep up with
what's going on.
The World Wide Panorama is sponsored by the Geography Computing
Facility at the University of California Berkeley. The site is hosted
by The Geo-Images Project. This is a non-commercial project, done
simply to create enthusiasm for VR photography, and provide an outlet
for our collective creativity.
The World Wide Panorama events and web sites have been organized and
created by Don Bain and Landis Bennett, graphics by Kat Kalamaras,
maps and programming by Markus Altendorff.
