PANORAMAS

• The history of panoramas

They were circular rooms, on the inner walls of which views of landscapes or cityscapes were painted continuously to give the viewers the illusion of standing in the middle of a landscape. See previous lesson.

See the panorama of Edinburgh in the Edinburgh Virtual Environment Centre  (Projects, Barker panoramas)

See panoramas of London in the Museum of London website (Learning, Adults, Life-long learning online, World City, Panoramania)

• Panoramas and web animations

see again the CATI website on virtual spaces: Subjective spaces, Panoramic vision, which simulates the experience of turning round to select new parts of the landscape to look at.
