Termes-ness
Hey there, take a look at this. It's pretty amazing.

Welcome to our living room. You'll find it takes a certain "bonkers" way of thinking about things to hang out here. No one will ever ask you to leave, but you might feel uncomfortable being here if "our tribe don't dig your vibe." The emphasis is on creativity, spontaneity, and improvisation. Most of us know each other here. Many of us are related. We use aliases just for the hell of it.

That is quite possibly the coolest thing i have ever seen!
Yeah, DT! That's what I'm talkin' bout.
The only way to fly.
What are those people having?
Can I get a burger?
Or maybe a Sweetnoodle?
BO, do you see any commercial applications in the panorama?
Toawk about a noice space!
I hope the owners of that joint have liability coverage. Theres a pretty big hole in the floah deah. Give each of dem peoples my cahd will yez, Toimez?
It's a work in progress...and quite a revolutionary one at that. I would also like to note that our very own Dancin' D made the online-ness of that beautiful piece possible.
Yeah, there have been games that work like that for quite a while. The first one I ever saw was the Journeyman project.
When the new Internet 2 comes out, you'll be able to wrap an image like that all around you in 3D. You could surely make great TV spots using it, and documentaries.
Who made the file? Is it Quicktime VR? That's the program I have.
It want's music. And it want's to hook one Termesphere to another, by going through that doorway and turning a corner for example.
It's a window on the infinite. I want to hear somebody talk to me as I move around, cued by where I seem to be going. Fully interactive, intuitive audio, tracking the mouse (eye) the same way the picture does.
A whole new "create your own" kind of movie.
The mind boggles.
Termes rocks.
As does the Chop....And the rest of you.
I think what the great Thunk-ist was trying to ask was potential for marketability. Do you see any potential for that popolopolis?
This was on a sphere first, right?
What a great sense of atmosphere
and internal light it has! It really does feel like
you can fly in there. The space is palpable.
You have to be careful not to go too fast, or you
get motion sickness.
BO, you should talk to his Termesness...there is science in here, and it's cool!
Marketability in what context? Fine art? Online?
I think Dick could sell access to the files of all his sphereson line by putting a preview up there and letting people "subscribe" to his work, like a library card. If you want to look at his paintings or total photos like this you have to pay a buck a picture.
People would do that in a heartbeat, I bet. Collect all 50 of em! The files stay on the server. A cookie goes to the CPU that orders the view. Pay per view Termes art.
Did Termes get it to go yet?
Where is this place by the way? It reminds me of the place in Bozeman where the Trio had their release, and Lang tended bar. Is it?
I relly like being able to move around the space at will Dick. It's really fun to do. You can play around with it for hours (which I have been doing). I wonder if you could sell it in CD form and have a demo in the gift shop/gallery/store ...whatever. Your markup would be astronomical!
I bet it was the Quick Time plug-in right?
Yay! Termes and Chop have brought a new miracle to the Spave Bolg!
Polyman, for reproduction in "Meat Space", the only issue seems to be image closure at the north and south poles. Was that data mission in your photos, or is it they who are mapping the image in the software who are having geometry problems? If it's them, one possible idea is to make two or three versions of the VR movie and splice them together. Make one where the poles are top and bottom as you have here, then another one where they are left and tight. Then rotate that second one 90 degrees and splice it together with the first. (Just thinking out loud (virtually that is)).
Whoa, what with the ghost cowboy?
Oh Toad.
Toad, if you don’t know any thing about Termespheres (www.termespheres.com), please check them out, you won’t regret it. As for the ghost cowboy, I believe that as Polyman explained that is a piece he did of a restaurant in Santa Fe, they believe that there is a ghosts in there and I think that Polyman was injecting some humor. As for the story behind the ghost, i'm a little foggy.
Apon further research...
"The ghost image is the gambler that lost his company's money and committed suicide by diving into the Hotel's the well."
Hi Toad, welcome back. Love your "materialization" pix and comments. Termes should look at those, it's kind of a specialty of his. Did you see them Dick? A bunch of pictures where Jesus and Mary show up in potato chips and such. It's on Toad's blog.
