More and more of our world is being photographed. Using Google Earth, you can zoom in on a significant portion of the inhabited Earth using Satellite photographs.
However, I just stumbled across an application that takes this technology to the next level. Paris 26 Gigapixels, shows you the French city like you’ve never seen it before. Basically, you are looking at 2346 high-resolution photographs carefully stitched together to make an incredible panorama.
Using the advanced navigation tools, you can zoom in and out and pan about the entire city. You can zoom in close enough to see actual people. Pretty Amazing!
But does this technology portend any future problems? After all, how high is TOO high when it comes to resolution? What if this type of live imagery could be viewed in real-time? By anyone. Hmmmmm…..
