2. Interactieve Panoramic Photography
This type of panoramic photography is being used to create a complete reproduction of an environment by projecting an image on the inside of a cube or sphere. The user can interactively drag the mouse in any desired viewing direction, including up and down (floor and top), i.e. The user is surrounded by the entire picture.
Applications:
1. Presentation of a construction site.
2. Presentation of an interior.
3. One of the pictures of a Photographic Virtual Tour.
4. The environment of a 3D model.
5. Lighting information from this type of picture can be used to create a very realistic light source of a 3D scene (HDR).
Examples:
The examples below all use the Apple Quicktime Player (a free download from www.apple.com)
Click on a button below the thumbnail panoramas, to see and download the full-size version of the panorama.

We differ between two types of panoramic photography:
1. Extreme Wide-Angle Panoramic Photography
2. Interactive Panoramic Photography (click here to go to this section directly....)
1. Extreme wide-angle Panoramic photography
This type of panoramic photography is being used to create a complete impression of an environment on a 2D plane.
These are pictures that have a field of view ranging from 180 till 360 degrees. When wrapping the 360 degrees pictures around the inside of a cylinder, one could see the entire environment again from within that cylinder. That is why these pictures are also called cylindrical panoramic pictures. (Only the bottom and top of the environment would be missing)
Applications:
1. Large format prints, like wallpaper, banners, bill-boards etc.
2. As an environment of a 3D model, e.g. a view from a 3D model of a house.
