Robot Panoramas, Microsoft and Bladerunner


1. First off, if you haven't seen Bladerunner see it immediately. Go to Netflix, bump it to the top of you Queue and then watch it whenever "snail-mail" delivers it . Be advised it has some slower moments, resist the urge to check Facebook during these moments. Be patient and take in all the wonderful special effects of 1982. It holds up remarkably well, but I'll let you be the judge. See it, then read the articles below. Or just read them and see it later.. Interesting new digital photography technology always seems to be coming out. Have a look.

2. Robots that take their own panoramas....













3. Related site (www.gigapan.org ) mentioned in the above Nytimes article.

4.An article about new technology from the Microsoft, that they relate to Bladerunner (see #1 of this post)
