I Will Be Brief.  Don’t Miss This!

360 Cities is an awesome site, senior citizen traveler.

You’re looking at 360 panoramas. They could be also be called by a variety of other names, for example, 360° panoramas, omniviews,  virtual reality panoramas, among others, but 360Cities calls them simply 360 Cities.  I really enjoyed what is called the “Editor’s Pick” that features many of the world famous sites all over the globe. And how about a “Gigapixel Panorama“using their Events Gallery as samples.

Panoramic photography of some kind has existed for more than a century. Senior historians can see many examples of 360 degree photos from 100 years ago.

Nowadays you can see a boom in this kind of visualization technology due to the ever-reducing cost of the technology, availability of software, abundance of publishing tools. One of the most important aspects is that the broadband internet made it possible to easily share this kind of photography with others. 360 Panoramas are the new way of showing places, events and businesses on the internet.

Now join me senior travelers and let’s take in London just using your mouse.  How about the London Eye?  St. Paul’s Cathedral?  Big Ben? The Thames? Gee whiz.  What did I discover here?  We can travel the world sitting in our comfortable chairs.  I just love it.  Wow!

Enjoy the show. jeb
