Default Billion-Pixel Pictures - Giga Pan

This is an amazingly cool technology:

Billion-Pixel Pictures

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...-pictures.html

On the second page, there is a zoomable pic - make sure you zoom in far enough to see the little figurine placed in the pic

I want to get one of these!

Ha, I was looking for him on the picture of the first page.
Not that you would really need a billion pixxels but you could do things like take a picture of your whole workshop and folks could explore your bench.
Or set up a virtual show table with all of your works spread out numbered and priced, take one pic and let folks browse it LOL.

We played around with these a few years ago at an Adobe conference. We were able to zoom in for miles and see street signs and people who were not visible to the naked eye. It's very cool tech.
