Matthias Taugwalder - The Panoramic Experience - Think Big and Outside the Screen

Matthias Taugwalder will bring us a talk on The Panoramic Experience, how to think big and outside the screen!

Panoramic photography is about capturing the immersive experience of a specific location at a specific time. When we as photographers are capturing a location, our view is not limited. We are shooting in 360 degrees! But why are we limiting ourselves to small prints and displays to show our work?

Panoramas can not only be shown as art prints, in books; or as interactive VR panoramas on websites and tablet/mobile devices. To deliver the original experience of a scene to the viewer we need new display techniques.

Apart from such immersive displays, panoramic and gigapixel photography can sometimes even be used for non-standard applications – as for example group portraits. But these special projects also need special preparations.

Matthias Taugwalder will show based on several projects how panoramas can be displayed to deliver this unique immersive experience and how one can use software tools for the advance planning of such unusal projects.
