AF Twenty-Seven

If you’re looking for a great example of a virtual tour then check out CBGB’s Virtual Tour. I’ve walked passed this spot on numerous occasions wondering what it looked like inside. Now I never have to wonder and I didn’t even have to pay a cover.

I watched this whole short with my mouth open and my hand over it. If you’re really gangsta, you’ll turn out the lights, play it full screen and turn up the sound.

Incredible work.

One of the first things I do when i wake up is check my phone for emails, bbms, texts, and social network updates. The other morning I awoke to this tweet from a woman who lives out in Japan named Sheena. Am I feeling the love? You betcha.

Thanks Sheena.

Definitely check out her blog:

Press Play. Click and drag around the video. Incredible.

A variant of the yellowBird camera is being utilized within the Google Streetview technology. The prominent difference is that the yellowBird camera records video instead of photographs. The camera uses six cleverly divided lenses in order to capture every possible viewing direction. The data stream generated by the camera is impressive. Through a double glass-fiber connection, a stream of 1200 Mbit per second is captured and saved in an uncompressed format. Next to the camera, a surround sound microphone system enables to record audio at 96 khz as well.
