I’m working with Canadian artist Jean Bridge to create a more robust implementation of her panoramic photography work. I’m using Max/MSP and SoftVNS to allow the viewer to navigate within high-resolution panoramic digitally-manipulated photographs. Various “hotspots” within the image trigger sounds and overlaid smaller images. It’s similar in many ways to Quicktime VR, but the need for high-quality compositing in real time necessitated a custom approach.
