Exploring the World Through Gigapans

See how this new technology enables peoples of the nations of the world to share their place and culture with one and all and help us better understand and appreciate each other. Have your group photo taken by the gigapan photographic robot while you hold up a picture of your heritage.

Here is a gigapan I created at the St. Charles Katheryn Linneman Library on June 8, 2011

This is a special program for legal professionals, camera clubs, schools and librarians designed to help persons of all ages zoom in upon the world, cultures, objects and historic places through huge zoomable detailed images called gigapans. The workshop is customized for the audience. The participants watch a gigapan being created and then use their own cell phone cameras or digital cameras to create their own gigapans. Professionals and students and people all over the world are creating these images to share their culture, their history, their place on the planet and their favorite things and are using these images in their various professions.

See: www.gigapan.org for examples of these amazing images and zoom in upon reality like you have never done before.
