The idea:
Bitexco Group marketing decided to enhance Sky Deck visiting experience by installing six large HP Touch Smart Screens with high resolution, zoomable panoramic images running on it so that viewers would see the city with street level zoom regardless of the weather. Pop-up windows will give extra information on the landmarks of Saigon.

New 7 Wonders - The Great Wall of China

The New 7 Wonders of the World were announced at a ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07.

Panoramas.dk, the leading VR and immersive image site run by Hans Nyberg features Tamas D. Varga's Great Wall panorama movie on the site among other New 7 Wonders. >>>

From Panoramas.dk: "Interactive panoramas is a young media and as such it has for many years been known among entusiastic photographers and multimedia creators. An interactive VR panorama can not be seen in a book or on a printed image. If you print the panorama it gets a completely different expression.

You can only experience the feeling of being at the place and look around, on a computer. You can only distribute Vr Panoramas by the Internet or on CD.
With new fast internet connections Virtual Reality Panoramas has a large advantage in the tourist industry and in many other areas.
As a dokumentary of cultural heritage VR Photography is an excellent media which within a much smaller download than videos can give you a full view of a church or an ancient temple.
No other media can give you the feeling of being at the place like VR photos. And the ultimate feeling comes when you view them in Fullscreen >>>
