Sure there is the "Gee Whiz" factor and "They can really do that!", but I don't see any practical application of why anyone would care. I can't see a tourist looking at such a demonstration to learn more about a site or decide whether it is some place they want to visit. A single still from any angle will do the job better and a video of the location is much better than seeing this mixture of stills from all different lights and angles. I can't see a tourist using such a presentation to decide what angle to take a picture when they get there and of course the lighting and the tourists blocking their view will be different when they get there.</p><p>These seem more examples of technologists producing something because they can without any idea of what the application might be. Please let me know if you see an application I don't.</p><p>Jim Pickerell</p>jimpickerellFri, 18 Sep 2009 11:23:52 -0000
