Now this is high res

Just thought I would share this. The technology and images are pretty amazing. I have seen Eric Hanson lecture about this and I have his Maya DVDs where he talked about this at great length. It seems he and others have taken this a step farther and created this website

Try zooming in on the images it's pretty insane stuff.

Isn't this the same person that took a bunch of pics of the Australian skyline and the ruins of Machu Picchu and allowed you to zoom waaaaaay in? It's awesome, real cool stuff.

That's insane. And Yosemite is pretty... I need to go there again...

I can't find the climber nor the hiker. Are they foolin' with me?

It may be resolution, or the people may be where the frames are stitched together- if you look at the first Boston scene you can see the strangeness in the flag and the white car's ghost behind itself.

I also like the gigapixel camera project.

Hi Guys,

I am one of the photographers from xRez. Thanks for the kudos! The Macchu Piccho and Austrailia image was a different photographer, but it was the same technique, stitching multiple images. In our case we shot about 350-600 images to create our panoramas. Be sure you go into the technology section and check out some of the time-lapse and other images too!

Good to see you here, you have some pretty amazing stuff there!!! I have been doing a lot of training though the Gnomom school DVDs (mostly Maya) and I have to say the stuff you guys do there is just mind blowing. I'm a big fan of a lot of the talent there, Eric, Alex, Dylan, yourself included. Again, excellent stuff!

I saw something like this once, but I dont think it's the same thing. A guy didnt just take 600 pictures and splice them together. Just one. He used an old camera that was used in spy-planes. It (along with its film) was HUGE! I'll see if I can find the website.

Ah yes, here.
