The current issue GigaPan Magazine, published online by Carnegie Mellon University, features panoramic photos of Gettysburg battlefields and objects associated with the pivotal Civil War battle, Campus Technology reports.
The photos are generated with GigaPan technology, which consists of a robotic device that holds a digital camera and lens in place to take hundreds or thousands of images and software that allows the images to be compiled into a single panoramic shot. GigaPan, which stands for "gigapixel panoramas," comes in several models priced from $299 to $895.
The Gettysburg issue allows viewers to survey the Cemetery Hill and Cavalry East battlefields, browse through a gallery in the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, PA, and visit the restored graves of African-American soldiers in Columbia, PA, among other sites.
