Koen: November 2005 Archives

If you like planes, you have to visit the website of Interactive Media.

They have a range of quicktime movies online featuring the Dubai 2005 Air Show with images of F16, F15 and A-10 fighter planes and various other related panoramas!

VR Photography is often used to show fancy houses, interiors, cars... but it's also a great medium for documentary photography that makes you think and see...

Make sure to visit these panoramas made by Mickael Therer who got the opportunity to follow MSF (Doctors Without Borders) missions in Mali :
19 quicktime panoramas covering 2 MSF Luxembourg missions on malaria
and malnutrition in Mali.

I found a great link on the frontpage of Kekus!
Bradford Bohonus of VRSeattle visited Russia this summer and he returned with an amazing amount of panoramas!

If you like travel photography you really have to check it out : Virtual Tour of Russia - VRSeattle!

Today is "Armistice Day". This day marks the end of WW1.
More historical information can be found in Wikipedia.

I've been searching for panoramas related to WW1 and I managed to find a few!

First of all a post in the Mickael Therer's blog : 360day : The War to end all Wars.
Mickael Therer is also the man behind Panoramas of World War II Landmarks.

Secondly a selection of old panoramic images (viewable in java) on the The Heritage of the Great War site.
This website contains a lot of historical photos, articles and a selection of panoramas :
Panoramic WW1 pictures.

Yesterday I released the Dutch version of my first site with panoramic images.
The website gives an impression of Noeveren. This a region in a village/city called Boom here in Belgium.

This area is very important for the brick industry that dominated this region for about a century.
At this time an amazing amount of old, deserted brick factories are still left and more important they are finally getting renovated and cleaned up.

Well, have a look : Visit VRNoeveren.com now!

These are the links to the pages containing the panoramas :

People are creative... And if creative people also enjoy gadgets...

In this article in Make: somebody explains how to connect LCD goggles to an Ipod Video to turn it into a VR solution often seen in comics and science fiction movies!
And it does seem to work!!!

I do have an Ipod but unfortunately an older non-video model!
So other amazing DIY tips are certainly welcome!
