Comparative GigaPan viewing for edification and amusement

Our GIGAmacro photographic imaging system was built by Gene Cooper Four Chambers studio. They’ve also made a neat comparative GigaPan viewer available online.

Here are 3 demonstration videos I just shot of how this sort of thing works: one macro sample of oolitic limestone, one of the flood/not-flood of Passage Creek, and one of a thin section Paul Karabinos imaged in both plane-polarized light and crossed-polars.

What do you think of that?
I think there are some great potential applications for such a thing.

  1. This is an excellent tool. How would I be able to have access to this software. I wish to highlight the density of fossil tracks at a sandstone site. I am confident it will help me in my Research presentations.

    • Hi Ranjan,
      You can download the stitching software from GigaPan.com, or there’s a free, robust stitching program from Microsoft called ICE (Image Composite Editor). The comparative viewer itself is free, and you can plug in any two GigaPans into the viewer on a web browser. And viewing any GigaPan, comparative or not, is easy: all you need is a web browser.
