I'm personally interested in the smallest amount of effort to get something working. I expect, and I think Steven White would back me up on this, that there are complexities in this such as trying to capture tilt and yaw.
Trying to move cameras or mirrors is a fairly complicated process, and while it's potentially cheaper than buying multiple cameras, it also means that whatever you build a) will be harder for the next person to build & b) less likely to succeed due to increased complexity. Right now, I'm interested in purchasing a 360 degree lens, and getting something working. Right now the money is a big pain point for me, but I'm hoping to resolve that shortly. To the point about establishing a standard, I think that is absolutely critical. Tom Longson (nym) http://igargoyle.com/streetview/ On 6/12/07, SteveC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Some people immediately suggest mounting 5-6 cameras on a car, each pointing in a separate direction. An alternative method is to have a single (continuously shooting video or web) camera, pointing upwards, and a rotating periscope-like mirror on top. Only the mirror needs to rotate (the rest is digital image processing), and I guess the entire setup should be possible to fit inside a tube of 4 inch diameter. Bet you the R&D costs will outweigh just buying some cameras No, I haven't tried this. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking have fun, SteveC | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.asklater.com/steve/ _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
