  Fine Outreach for Science

  This program introduces a wide range of internationally recognized scientists and experts to GigaPan™ as a pioneering new scientific tool. We will equip and train renowned leaders in a variety of fields to use the GigaPan system. These scientists will then be set loose to bring their own scientific, critical and creative eyes to bear, applying the technology to their field of specialization. With a no-strings-attached approach, participants in this program have the freedom to discover new and useful ways to use GigaPan technology that those outside their field might never consider.

  Gigapans for science and monitoring

  Do you use gigapan or high resolution images for scientific research? This group is intended as a forum for anyone who has particular interest in how to better use gigapans for landscape science, conservation and environmental monitoring or ecology. Come on in and share you experiences, ideas and questions!

  How Diverse Professions Use Gigapans

  I am teaching a course in how diverse professionals are using gigapanography and how this technology has led to discoveries or deeper understanding. I would like for professionals of many occupations to join the group. See my course website at: https://sites.google.com/site/newimagingtechnology/home

  Arctic Ecology 2012

  In 2012 the University of Guelph/Ontario Universities Program in Field Biology's Arctic Ecology course was fortunate to have 8 GigaPans to distribute amongst the students to help them experience, explore, understand and question this special sub-Arctic environment. The Arctic has many species not found elsewhere and a warming climate is predicted to have a particularly dramatic impact on this unique biodiversity. Understanding Arctic biodiversity has become an important part of the research and teaching at UofG, from first year to senior field courses to graduate research. Our goal is to expand the opportunities for experiential learning about Arctic biodiversity by students in two courses (Arctic Ecology BIOL*4610 and Discovering Biodiversity BIOL*1070) by using two wo cutting-edge technologies: DNA barcoding and GigaPan imaging. DNA barcoding is a novel genetic method for species identification and discovery that was pioneered at the University of Guelph. The GigaPan is a transformational piece of technology for creating, sharing and annotating high-resolution panoramic photographs. The digital products of each technology are publicly accessible and sustainably maintained; both are annotated through time by a community of experts and non-experts alike; and both connect the digital and natural worlds. Our course is based out of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC). Founded in 1976, the Churchill Northern Studies Centre is an independent, non-profit research and education facility located 23 km east of the town of Churchill, Manitoba. The CNSC provide accommodations, meals, equipment rentals, and logistical support to scientific researchers working on a diverse range of topics of interest to northern science. In addition to research, the Centre facilitates a wide range of educational programming ranging from general interest courses for the visiting public to university credit courses for students. We gratefully acknowledge the support critical for the student GigaPans from the CREATE Lab Outreach Program at Carnegie Mellon University, the Learning Enhancement Fund of the University of Guelph, the Fine Foundation, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). http://gigapan.com/galleries/9086/gigapans

  Mid-Atlantic Geo-Image Collection (M.A.G.I.C.)

  Welcome to the Mid-Atlantic Geo-Image Collection (M.A.G.I.C.)! Our galleries feature a large and growing collection of geologic images at outcrop and hand sample scales. We encourage you to embed these, print them, incorporate them into lessons and assignments . . . they're here for you to use as you see fit! To view the entire collection, visit the Mid-Atlantic Geo-Image Collection (M.A.G.I.C.) gallery. If you're looking for something specific, try one of the themed galleries.

  Urban Japan

  Japanese cities often have a wonderfully chaotic mixture of beautiful and ugly, new and old. I invite you to join me in documenting the urban jungle of Japan not just in sweeping vistas but in gritty corners that reveal a story of the history of buildings and the people that make them and use them.

  Virtual World

  Stereoscopic 3D panoramas of the World. A viewing window is created for each eye to provide perspective and depth. Side by side images are captured and rendered to create immersive 3D. Viewing methods will include 3DHDTVs - not just colored (anaglyph methods)
