Hyper-Photo

[Uri Cogan]

Hyperphotos are assembled from up to thousands of images at very high resolution and presented as an interactive image.

 

The web site for Jean-François Rauzier’s hyperphoto gallery is:

 

http://www.rauzier-hyperphoto.com/category/portfolio/?lang=en

1. Select anything in the 'Portfolio' section, several photos will show up.
2. Select any of them and click on 'Press here for full screen mode'.
3. Use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to zoom in, zoom out, or move in any direction, or just click and drag.

4. hit esc to get back.

 

When you zoom in, give the image a few seconds to show in high resolution - trying to load the entire image at once in full resolution could take a few hours or days - if you have enough memory (you don't).

Uri - those are soooooo cool!  What a great amount of work to create an image - but what images!

I didn't know they were called Hyper-Photos though the name makes sense.  I think someone used this technique to create that incredible shot of Barack Obama's inauguration. .... Dave Bergman made it using a canon g10 and a gigpixel..... http://www.davidbergman.net/blog/how-i-made-a-1474-megapixel-photo-...

Yes. I shot a gigapixel panorama of Osoyoos, BC. you can see it at: http://www.uricogan.com/osoyoos/index.html

The photo is made up of 4 rows of 39 telephoto shots, stitched in PTGui and rendered in KRpano. 7Gb!
