Yesterday, while going through some bookmarks, I came across an old link to a Quicktime VR of the Hadron Collider at CERN (a really cool little toy – Link). Serendipity must be in the air because while stopping into the Digitally Distributed Environments blog today, I read an update to some panorama posts (Link) that have been going up there lately, and this one included a link to some Second Life QTVR scenes over on Panogames (Link).

I’m relatively certain I’ve seen these already; I’ve surfed through Panogames a few times. But I don’t think I’ve written about either of these. Actually, it’s the Google Earth tutorial that caught my eye, because it raises the possibility of creating environment spheres for rendering realistic CG images. Anyway, if you’ve not seen them or want to learn how to make them, check out the links for images and how-to’s.
