David and Dawn's Living Room
The following images were generated as a composite of eighteen
separate images we took of our living room using a standard 35mm
camera and an ordinary lens. Click
here for more on how we generated the images. We took these
pictures the day after our pumpkin carving party, and you can see our
freshly carved pumpkins in the corner behind the hammock chair.
Here is a 360-degree cylindrical panoramic image of our living room (a
bookshelf behind the camera is visible on both the left and right
sides of the picture). This is the sort of picture you would get
if you had one of those rotating cameras people sometimes use to take
large group shots.
This is the same picture as a fisheye image, for fun. This is how our
living room would look if you could see it through a 360-degree
fisheye lens (although I'm not sure that this kind of lens is even
physically possible). This time the camera is positioned with its
back to the dark hallway, which appears as a dark ring around the
circular image.
Finally, here is my favorite. This is the same thing again, this
time as an interactive pan-around image. This does require a
plugin (downloadable
from Live Picture, here) in order to view it which will only run
on a Windows or Mac machine. Click here
to see a more-detailed pan-around image that uses the whole browser
window. If you don't have a Windows or Mac computer handy, or
you don't want to mess around with plugins, you can try this Java viewer, although image quality and
scrolling speed are poor.
