Where Photography meets Geoinformation

Pixelcase is an online service to create virtual tours. It allows to create impressive presentations about geographic places. By using photographs and panoramic views in a flash frame including functionality like zoom, rotate and pan a spatial feeling is added. Following example shows how Geoinformation can be presented in an entertaining environment: http://www.pixelcase.com.au/vr/2009/newyork/

You can jump between different places, so called hotspots, by using thumbnails on the bottom. This functionality could be enhanced by using direct links in the picture to jump from one hotspot to another. Maybe an navigation similar to Google Streetview can be added of cover all the different hotspots of a covered area.
