"Dream Team" to Create Gigapixel Photo System

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday December 9, 2004 @08:11AM from the who-dreams-of-these-guys dept.

neutron_p writes "An eclectic group of artists and scientists that organizers have dubbed the "dream team" of imaging and visualization are gathered at New York University this week to begin to create a photographic system capable of capturing and displaying a gigapixel of visual information in a single image. The first Big Picture Summit, Dec. 8 and 9, is organized by artist-photographer Clifford Ross. Ross says his goal is to bring closer to reality his desire to create a "you are there" photographic experience for those who have not personally witnessed the sublime beauty of natural scenes such as Mt. Sopris in Colorado."

I just heard sad news on talk radio - ex-Pantera member/guitarist Dimebag Darrel was shot dead in an Ohio dance hall this evening. I'm sure we'll all miss him - even if you didn't follow his antics you've probably enjoyed one of his records. Truly an American icon.
