Grand Canyon GigaView

27 GigaPansViews

A gigapixel virtual tour via the Colorado River of America's premier natural attraction.

Grand Canyon GigaView was crowd-source funded via Kickstarter.com in the spring of 2010. It's 27 images, most of which are full 360 degree panoramas, were captured alongside the Colorado River over the course on an 18 day private rafting trip. The photographer rowed one of the rafts through over 180 named rapids in the course of the 225 mile trip.

To date, Grand Canyon GigaView has been explored by almost half a million people on various platforms including GigaPan.com, Photosynth.net, Google Earth, Bing Maps, and 360Cities.net.

Alpstein

6 GigaPansViews

Der Alpstein ist eine Untergruppe der Appenzeller Alpen. Das Alpsteinmassiv gehört zu den Kantonen Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden und St. Gallen.
Trotz seiner im Vergleich zu anderen Alpengipfeln eher geringen Höhe - höchster Berg ist der Säntis mit 2'501,9 m - wirkt der Alpstein aufgrund seiner nördlichen „Vorpostenlage“ mit nur geringer Entfernung zum Bodensee (Luftlinie knapp 30 km) sehr mächtig.
