One of the technologies I have been working with in the CREATE lab is called Gigapan. I did not help develop it, Yet I have been having fun using it. 

Gigapan is a robotic camera mount that allows users to take breathtaking panorama using hundreds of pictures and billions of pixels. 

The amazing part is that its all taken care of with the push of a few buttons.

In August of 2008 The city of Chicago wanted Gigapans taken of historical sites around the city so they flew 4 of us in from Pittsburgh so we can take panoramas.

I took a total of 7 shots for them, and 5 more on my own time. Some of these shots will be printed out and placed in Ohara Airport.

A month later, Gigapan was brought back to Chicago for WIRED NextFest 2008. So I flew out to spend a few more days there once again.

I have taken Gigapans in Pittsburgh PA, Niagara Falls CA, and Chicago IL. They can be views on my Gigapan page below.
