       Are you aware of anyone who makes Pan 3d viewers?

   I just saw your post on the list, and noticed that you work at one of my
very favorite places in the whole world: the
Museum of Science and Industry
Chicago, Illinois
     Do you think your msi officers to be would be interested in making a
panorama exhibit? We at IAPP would surely have members willing to give you
much help with the exhibit. It would be so cool to perhaps see a big Curkit
Camera rotating around and watching the film go by in the opposite
direction. Maybe have a digital panorama camera photographing the entire
room and displaying a new big image every couple of minutes. People would
get to see themselves someplace in the room each time the camera goes
around. We could have huge panoramas blown up that people could walk inside
of and look all around 360 degrees. You could show VR and objects spinning
around...just all sorts of stuff. Did you know there is 3-D panorama
photography?!!! Aerial too. Panorama is the "in thing" now. See
www.photopan.com for the International Association of Panoramic
Photographers. There needs to be an exhibit on this specialized form of
photography as it is over 100 years old and still cooking. Most people don't
properly understand it. When you talk about panorama, they think THEY can do
that just as good with their little point and shoot camera in the "panoramic
mode". These folks need to see just how inadequate what they are doing
really is!
    You have the power to make things happen there by dropping a few lines
in the right direction. What do you think?
