Photo Op

Here's something pretty cool: gigapixel panorama photography. Click on the link to see a picture--made up of 216 photos--of tens of thousands of Vancouver Canucks fans.  It shows a street that's packed for a couple blocks, but you can burrow in and recognize individual faces. (I think it's cool, but maybe some people will find the whole thing kind of creepy.)

Very cool. First GigaPan-type image I ever noticed was this one from the Royal Wedding in April: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13200114

Doesn't surprise me the technology is a collaboration between CMU and NASA, with the support of Google, of course. Gives a whole new meaning to "candid camera".
