Panoramas Add Punch to WGBH

Imagine a wall of hieroglyphics in an ancient Egyptian temple. It's one thing to look at the wall in a two-dimensional photo. But what if you could look in all directions and see how it fits within the context of the whole building?

That's the creative vision of Jon Alper, Director of Technology at Boston's WGBH Interactive. Alper uses QuickTime VR panoramas to augment stories developed for the "NOVA" series and for the virtual remodeling tours offered at "This Old House."

To find out more, read an interview with Alper by VRMag's Doug DeRusha and take a spin through a sampling of various outstanding QuickTime VR panoramas from WGBH Interactive, including the mysteries of the Nile, views from Mt. Everest, and sweeping vistas from the surface of the moon.
