Nowadays, everything can take pictures: Cellphones, mp3-players, watches, even sunglasses come with built-in cameras. 2 Megapixel dwarfs that transform our world into chunky pixel mosaics. Modern day diaries in 72 ppi. And life looks pretty shallow in lo-res-land. Where’s the detail?
Here: xRez Studio is a Santa Monica company that creates extremely high resolution gigapixel photographs. The high-res images are complex compositions of hundreds of single shots created with extensive motion control gear. The images enable the creation of immersive digital environments and are being used for visual effects sequences, fulldome theater-presentations or large-scale exhibition prints.

Very cool!! I’m busy trying to figure out what marketing applications this would have. Must be very, very many — travel and hospitality industry comes to mind… recreation… industrial… oil field services… security… environmental services… the mind boggles.

Very impressive! I have to say a very high res image would look excellent across a large wall in a classy house, for example!

Thanks for reporting on our site!
I thought your audience might be interested in seeing how our gigapixel photography has been used in a web campaign. http://www.tierra.se/ Tierra is a swedish outdoor gear store and has placed their products deep inside our Yosemite image, putting climbing gear in the mountains and summer gear down in the valley.
