The above photograph is actually a composite of 9 separate photos; the inset shows the relative size of one of those nine.

If you've ever tried to tape several photos together to make one big photo, you know how hard it can be to get the edges to line up. This difficulty is caused by parallax--the change of perspective of the objects in a photo due to the change of position of the camera. Also, lens curvature can prevent perfect alignment.

EXCELLENT graphics uses a special panoramic camera head to eliminate parallax. Then, using state-of-the-art software, the images are stitched together to form a seamless, single image. The panorama below covers more than 180 degrees.

Not even wide-angle lenses can capture scenes this broad.

COST: $4 per individual photo in the panorama*, plus $10 for each finished panoramic photo used (whether they're used in digital or print media). Most rooms can be captured floor-to-ceiling in 9-12 photos (roughly 180 degrees).

The same technology is used in the creation of interactive Virtual Tours.
