11/1/2023 0 Comments Google earth 360 panorama![]() ![]() Visitors are eager to find maps and get directions. I have written frequently that the most popular article on Fujairah in Focus, which is also downloadable on a PDF document, is this one: Directions from Dubai to Fujairah. I say this because I wrote three years ago about the lack of decent maps of Fujairah in this article: ‘Fujairah, I’d like to See That: Good Maps’. When I first saw the 360 Emirates Panoramas and Virtual Tours I thought this would be ideal for Fujairah businesses, hotels, historic landmarks, clubs, restaurants, craft centres etc. * I have accepted their invitation to be the 360° Emirates agent in Fujairah. * They said they had plans to come and start in Fujairah in 1-2 months but with the local interest being shown the two Dubai-based brothers who run this business have already visited Fujairah and commenced their specialized photography work in this emirate. * They replied and I wrote about their technology in this article, Exploring Fujairah on a 360° Virtual Tour. * Before this happened I spotted 360Emirates on the Internet and contacted the owners to say, ‘This looks fantastic! When are you coming to do this in Fujairah?’ Recently, someone did something similar with Half Life 2 (the 3D first person shooter), letting you view 3D panoramas.* Call this an advertorial or an infomercial but I want to declare that I have a business interest in 360Emirates. One of DigitalUrban’s readers has already produced a different Google Earth panorama using the tutorial. Then, I’d like to see if you could use the TriDef stereoscopic viewer to create a stereoscopic 3D panorama with GE… It would be neat to see if you could do a closer to ground panorama with 3D buildings in GE. The result is a file viewable with Quicktime (or some other QTVR viewing program) which let’s you spin about and see the panorama. Some photoshop work is needed to add some realistic clouds and fix some stitching artifcats due to anomalies created due to this being a 3D model (not the real Earth). Then use a panorama stitching program like Stitcher by Realviz to create an initial file. Their method basically outlines how to set up a virtual camera on a “tripod” and take multiple screenshots of GEs satellite photo landscape. The guys at DigitalUrban have put together a cool tutorial on how to create a panorama photo using Google Earth. ![]()
