(use the arrows on either side). It seems you can also use it to go round an object pointing inwards or rotating the object before the camera. I haven't tried that yet. It is free & the try I made took about 20 shots for full rotation. I have just tried the rotating object method and the automatic system did not get it right but if you use the buttons on the top right to zoom and turn it could be usefull. lets have your views!

Yes - I watched your canaly one - excellent (for a starter) ! It reminds me of the guy who does 360 deg airial stuff dangling a camera from a kite.

The technology seems aimed at "extrospect" viewing. I wonder if it would perhaps be as useful in "introspect" mode.

EG - you have you beloved engine or whatever and you walk round it taking your 20 or so images of it. Stitch it together using the program and hey presto, a continuous view all round the thing. Just an idea !
