The GigaPan camera creates very high-resolution panoramas by stitching together hundreds of individual photos. Once the images have been “stitched” and uploaded to the GigaPan website, a user can zoom in to specific features of the image.

The camera is a powerful tool for multiple applications, including architectural surveys of historic properties, land-use management, urban design to create models for new buildings as well as old, archival for future generations, promoting specific sites, and education.

Some sample GigaPans are embedded below.  Keep checking this site for additional GigaPans of historic sites from around southwestern Pennsylvania.
