That is amazing! Wow, talk about a small world! No, I don't know the number unfortunately, they aren't labeled in any way that I've been able to see. However if you contact the creator, Vander Reich, and show him the picture, he may be able to tell you more about it. Wow! Are you kidding me?? That is amazing! Wow, talk about a small world!

I /did/ see them, and it is truly an impressive technology. However my concern is (in general, not only with R&R) the necessary license for the used photographies. I am not saying R&R does not have it - it would be wise IF they did license the photos. Oh, misunderstanding! I /did/ see them, and it is truly an impressive technology.

But rather than criticize before you've seen it, why don't you take a visit to that slurl and find out for yourself. :) I am positive you will be pleasantly surprised, and impressed.

And if Paramount unleashes their lawyers it might quickly become pretty expensive.

If you check out websites with panoramic images you will notice a few things. 1) only very few panorama photos stitch seamless - most are not 360° shots but cover a smaller angle 2) only very few are crisp and clear high quality - the others are kind of amateurish and 3) at least the professional ones, but usually all of them bear copyright notices or the site's ToS explicitely forbid commercial usage Admittedly I never investigated fully into this - for me RL photography of any kind breaks the immersion in SL - but I wonder if all of the holodeck designers out there get the proper licenses to use the photos for their gadgets. If not, it comes down to commercial violation of intellectual property and copyright.

I'm so glad you're enjoying your holodec!!! FYI: Give me a shout and I'll show you a new collection of 5 skyboxes I've made to fit in the holodecks. I think they are just what you're after. And they have built in low-prim controller rezzers too. We're always working on something new. Thanks for the wonderful pics and commentary. I’m so glad you’re enjoying your holodec!!!
