Kite Aerial Photography Immersive Panoramas in Google Earth

Tweet

Kite Aerial Photography (KAP) has always intrigued us, we own a large power kite and of course the panoramic gear, we just haven't had the faith in our kite flying skills to combine the two. Scott Haefner runs one of our favorite sites and has just sent us a email to let us know that he has put a number of his KAP panoramas into Google Earth using our 'Step inside Spheres'.

The Spheres, Google Earth and KAP go hand in hand and are well worth a look, in fact its stunning to see the use of these three technologies together. Take a look at Scotts site for the Google Earth files.

If you want to create your own Google Earth 'Step Inside Sphere' or 'Google Earth Bubble' (we are still thinking of a good name for them) then follow our Tutorial.

Using our Tutorial on How to Create Immersive Panoramas in Google Earth we have placed online a panoramic view of Trafalgar Square, London. Within the file are two viewpoints - Nelsons Column and the National Gallery, click each viewpoint to fly around the panorama and view the scenes full screen.

We have over 100 panoramic scenes on the blog and over time we will be converting them to Google Earth, complete with viewpoints and text based information. Since we put the tutorial online we have noticed a number of examples being created, later today we will start a post listing all of the panoramic globes in Google Earth
