360º Panorama on A1-DES 70" LCD Tablet Monitor

At CeBit Sydney I had the opportunity to view one of my recent 360º panoramas on A1-DES's 70" LCD Electronic Touch Panel Tablet Monitor.

This incredible device allows multi-touch manipulation directly on the screen so you can pinch and zoom, rotate, draw on it and surf the internet.

Once I'd loaded the page I selected the fullscreen option and the panorama filled this huge screen, then with a gentle swipe of a finger on the screen I could pan around the panorama much to the delight of the A1-DES people and those visiting the booth.

Without wanting to monopolise the booth too much I managed to get a couple of pictures. I'm planning a followup visit to their offices to try some more samples and hopefully shoot a video of the panoramas in action.

360º Morgans Outlook Panorama

Morgan’s Lookout

Morgan’s lookout is a white granite outcrop; due to its elevation, this local geological feature was used by the bushranger Dan "Mad Dog" Morgan as a lookout for police parties. Local folklore tells of Morgan hiding his horses in deep crevices within the rocks when the police came nearby.

360º Panasonic PMA Booth

My first outing with the new Canon 5D Mark II to shoot a 4 node 360º Panorama tour of the Panasonic booth at the Photo Marketing Association "Imaging Technology Show 2009" held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour.

Why is the background blurred?
When approached by Panasonic PMA approved the photography on the condition that you couldn't see/read the names of other booth exhibitors, a bit tricky when you are shooting 360 degrees. My solution was to apply a graduated blur to the whole image and strip back in only the Panasonic booth. The reason behind the graduated booth was to leave the amazing complexity of the roof still readable, so as you pan up the blur diminishes and it becomes clear again.
