A while ago, I mentioned the use of Panoramas and Object Movies to help showcase artifacts. Recently, Google launched the Google Art Project - an interactive site that features artwork and exhibitions from some of the world's most famous museums. (YouTube Video about the project)
Of interest to us archivist/curator/digital folks, Google put together a Behind the Scenes montage that shows a little bit of their approach to photographing the art and creating panoramas for the Tour Guide affect.
Of course, their equipment probably cost more than some of our salaries, but it is certainly interesting to watch! :)
P.S. Sorry to have been gone for so long! Will return to regular postings.
