Anyway, building panoramas is not really interesting. Think bigger
and start building 3D.
As a more general thing... I don't understand 3D as a UI.
I spent a ton of time in 3D when the new hotness was VRML. I wrote
things to take a set of photos and magically turn them in to models
and so on. At its base it seemed like you spent 1000% more
development effort to make a 3d model of your building/city for a
1% improvement in usability. You got some factor of whizzyness,
it's a great educational tool, but no real ROI in its own space.
I think the problem is we're still using mostly 2d technology to
interact with these computer things which makes a 2d gui more
natural. 3d will be great when we've all ditched our trackpads and in
favour of immersive hardware - 3d headcams & gloves. Or a holodeck -
whichever comes sooner.
Cheers,
