LAB PANORAMAS

We've long had a fascination with web-based panoramas and have put together a collection here of some of our favorites. Are they useful in archaeology? Maybe. Are they fun? Definitely! The individual digital images used to construct these 360 degree panoramas are stitched together into a single seamless scene using the Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor, a free utility available from Microsoft Research. The freeware PTViewer Java viewer applet is then used to view and manipulate the stitched images.

If you have trouble initially viewing the panoramas, you may need to install Java, a free download at java.com.
