Get Inside - An Interactive Panoramic Experience
Catch the strangest glimpses from around the world.
by Marco Trezzini



Interactive panorama photography allows you to look into a variety of "impossible" experiences...
And these impossible experiences are just another example on how - sometimes - virtual reality can give you more than real world experiences.

Rummaging through the previous VRMAG issues, we run into several fascinating examples of insider's views, which confirmed the versatility of VR photography. A technique that doesn't have any limit, but those of the photographer's imagination.

Here, for the first time, we present you the most successful bubbles, to explore in a single article.
