A "Virtual Reality" photographic experience begins
with a 360 degree photograph, stitched together
from 30 or more individual photos. Imagine that you
are at the center of a hollow sphere and a
photograph is projected on the inside surface of
the sphere, covering the entire surface of the
sphere. You can turn and look anywhere! Now imagine
that there are clickable hot spots on that
photograph that transport you to adjacent spheres
and that you can navigate through a labyrinth of
spherical rooms, exploring every corner of each
room. That's Virtual Reality!
