Arounder

Arounder is a site I just found out about from Richard Byrne's amazing blog, Free Technology 4 Teachers. This is a site that is very similar to ViewAt.org in where it shows amazing panoramas of images around this world. Add to the fact that it is incorporated w/ Google Maps and you have a very nice site.

360 Cities

360 Cities is a site powered by Google for panoramic images. The way this is incorporated is nice because it uses the Google Earth interface. I really can see this being used in some type of History/Geography class. Also, this would be a really nice resource for photographers to teach panoramic imaging.

More info direct from their site, "360cities.net is a great way to check out thousands of high-resolution, interactive panorama images from around the world."

PanoGoogle

PanoGoogle is a search engine mash-up for finding panoramic images. PG is very simple to use and did a good job of giving me relevant results based on panoramas.

Below is pic of search results for the term, Stonehenge.

ViewAt.org

ViewAt is a new site which is simply amazing for doing panoramas. Any educator interested in doing photography or digital art should really check this site out.

"ViewAt.org was born with the idea of creating a virtual space where anybody can upload their photographic works in panoramic format and relate them to the place where they were taken. For that reason, and with the aid of technological developments that have made it possible to set up this visual manager, we aim to take web surfers to almost real spaces. Unlike traditional photography, the panoramic image creates a wrap-around sensation which we have tried to exploit to the full, thanks mainly to Shockwave Flash player, which allows us to include multimedia elements on the webpage and to fantastic developments such as Flash Panoramas and Google Maps.

What is this? - ViewAt.org via kwout"

Basically, ViewAt is a place where people can share/upload there panoramas and then comment on them. Also, if you choose to set your panorama to "public" it allows people to grab the html code and embed in their site/blog. It's a little bit more tricky then just that and some knowledge of html/code would be helpful.

Words can't do this site justice and I recommend checking it out for yourself by clicking here!!
