Sydney and Melbourne

I have just returned form a Quick trip to Sydney and Melbourne to capture the skies above both cities – Over 60 aerial panoramas in 2 hours flight including places like the Olympic Village, Opera House, MCG, Bondi Beach, Docklands and many others – Here are some links:

I also experimented with HDR Aerials using a modified BIOS hack which forced 3 brackets in 1/5th of a second – you will see that at Maquarie Lighthouse in Sydney. The first of its kind in the world I`m sure.

I have finally finished the design and construction of 5D MK2 Camera Rig capable of producing single shot aerial panoramics and HD 360 video – On early test it is also good at producing ground based 1 shot VR as well although a little heavy. This test I took to the skies of Perth with Brett (www.pixelcase.com.au) to get some aerial footage. You can see a couple of shots here. This is Mrk 4 Version of Rig using 5 Canons.

Need Virtual tours on an Ipad? Go for an iSlate

I am a fan of Apple stuff… but I am also glad that Windows/Google are snapping at their heels once more. Manufacturers have noticed that the iPads serious flaw is the lack of Flash and Apples refusal to acknowledge it.

Flash is the single best thing that has happened to the panoramic industry in, well, ever.. So I suggest we tell everyone to get an ISlate from HP who are happy to collaborate with Adobe.

Not only will you be able to produce virtual tours for the web – but developers will be able to produce AIR (Virtual tour apps) – that will run on all windows, all normal macs and now the iSlate.
