Microsoft has released 20 billion pixel 360 degree panoramic photos

Commercial high-performance cameras are tens of megapixels (tens of millions of pixels) at most, even if they are expensive, but the Microsoft laboratory is to seamlessly connect photographic data taken with 20 million pixel class cameras using software We produced panoramic photos equivalent to 20 gigapixels (20 billion pixels), and this is a special site "Gigapixel ArtZoomIt is open to the public.

A decisive moment when a woman was bounced up by her feet.

A man who gives instructions while peeping at the screen of the camera.


The performer who raises the snake according to the instructions issued subtly changes the standing position.


They are members of Microsoft Laboratories and are carrying out a project called "Gigapixel ArtZoom".

As a result, you can enjoy the images you created as detailed pictures even if you zoom to anything. The converted maximum number of pixels is 20 giga pixels (20 billion pixels) of the threat.


Before zooming in, you can see the performers participating in the Gigapixel ArtZoom project there.
