One of the cameras I use to shoot many of my VR panoramas is a motorized, high-resolution scanning back camera called a Panoscan MKIII. I can utilize the unique aspects of this camera to produce interesting panoramas that can’t really be achieved with any other equipment. The example below was created by shooting approximately 50 high-resolution 360-degree images over a span of about 2 hours. These images were then stacked in such a way to ...

A thought experiment that occurred to me this morning. What if some member of the chamber of people’s deputies decided not to take his seat in Washington, instead taking his oath in his state capitol or home district, and managed his constituents business from there? Yes, it’s kind of a whizzy sci-fi idea where someone replaces human interaction or proximity with tech.
