Open Coffee Rotterdam is a monthly networking event. Good coffee, a friendly and open atmosphere and interesting people to talk to. Recommended for New Media enthusiasts in the rijnmond region.

It was my birthday, so I took a little break from actively networking and brought a toy; my Arduino powered panorama robot. Which turned out to be a great conversation-starter.

Interactive Panoramas

By interactively manipulating the perspective in a 360 x 180 degree panoramic image, you can get a sense of "being there".

Have a look around

All of the images above can be explored interactively. Click in the middle of the image and hold down the mouse button. Then drag the mouse gently in the direction you want to turn the camera to. If you want to stop moving the camera, release the mouse button.
