London at 80 gigs
November 23, 2010
It’s one of the richest panoramas in the world: it’s London at 80 gigapixels.
This shot by Jeffrey Martin at 360Cities comes with all kinds of features: thumbnails of landmarks that are zoomed into when clicked, a map that locates them and automatically shows you the angle of view, a stop/start tour – and probably more that I haven’t discovered.
But best of all – and the whole point, really – is the incredible density of the image.
How good? Well, here’s the British Museum:
Can you see the crowd of people out front? Here are a few them when you zoom in to full max:

Will it certainly is impressive it’s not nearly the richest. At least if you are speaking in terms of Gigapixels. There was one of Rio in Brazil at 100 Gigapixels a while back, there are now mutliples over that mark as well.
Showing people in great detail from that distance is a little creepy though.
