Virtual Reality Bonsai.

I've been messing around with my new camera recently, I wondered if I could do a 'virtual reality' style pan & zoom on one of my bonsai.

Well, it turns out that there is software a-plenty out there for doing just that, and this is the result.

View my first attempt here:

Rotating Saikei

You need to have Apple's Quicktime plugin installed to view the movie.

The actual VR file is 500K long, so sorry 56k users, I'll try to compress a bit more tomorrow.

Let me know what you all think... Too fuzzy, takes too long to load, too jerky, etc etc.

Regards,

Chris/TB

Whoa, that's crazy!

To tell you the truth I think I like the back as much as the front!

Great idea. It loaded very quickly for me.

Where did you get the software to do this?

Should we now expect all your graphical posts to have this neat trick?
