This is how you might want to mount your cameras:

Anyway, building panoramas is not really interesting. Think bigger
and start building 3D.

Yeah for standards...
And yeah for the simplest thing that could possibly work.
I think we need to do the following...
-capture images
-process images
-store images
-provide an api to access the images
-provide a viewer that knows how to access that api to display them.
Am I missing something, or making something harder than it needs to
be?
Here are the exif 'gps' tags:

(I assume we will also use the standard EXIF tags for things like lens
focal length, and when the shot was taken, etc)
Does this list provide everything we need to capture in order to do
what we want to do?
