On Saturday March 20, VR Photographers all over the world celebrated the Spring Equinox by creating VR panoramas.
The Event has been a large success with more than 180 participants. The idea to this event came from Don Bain VirtualGuidebooks and Landis Bennett 360Geographics, both VR photographers since many years and members of the board of the IQTVRA (International QuickTime VR Association)
They have been working day and night to get the website with all the panoramas online.
And by the way most of them can also be viewed in Fullscreen.
