After quite a bit of head scratching, and googling I've managed to get my head around the orietation detection on the iPhone and the panoramas now display properly in both portrait and landscape mode. Also there are New Orion Expedition Cruise panoramas are online.

I've moved the site to the Red Square server so the site is now available at http://www.redsquare.com/360

note: You can view pages in a normal browser but the panoramas only work on iPhone.

Update: Feb 16th: I’ve updated the iPhone 360º Panorama site with a new skin and I’ll be uploading new panos shortly.

Orion is a purpose built vessel designed to access the inaccessible, all in 5-star luxury. The ship combines the best and the latest in design with maritime and environmental technology, comfort and casual elegance.

My first outing with the new Canon 5D Mark II to shoot a 4 node 360 Panorama tour of the Panasonic booth at the Photo Marketing Association "Imaging Technology Show 2009" held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre Darling Harbour.

Why is the background blurred?
When approached by Panasonic PMA approved the photography on the condition that you couldn't see/read the names of other booth exhibitors, a bit tricky when you are shooting 360 degrees. My solution was to apply a graduated blur to the whole image and strip back in only the Panasonic booth. The reason behind the graduated booth was to leave the amazing complexity of the roof still readable, so as you pan up the blur diminishes and it becomes clear again.

The Six Senses Hideaway sits on dramatic Ninh Van Bay, with its impressive rock formations overlooking the South China Sea, white sand beach and towering mountains behind, all adding to the sense of being at one with nature.

This series shows the most secluded rock villa of the resort and the one we were fortunate enough to enjoy for a week. View a larger version at http://www.redsquare.com/360/vietnam/sixsenses/index.htm
