Dept. of Amazing

Check out this incredible Quicktime VR 360° panorama of Sydney's New Year's fireworks display!

A picture named ny08sydneyicon.jpg

The New Year fireworks last night ... panorama.  The computer technology controlling such displays is becoming capable of amazing synchronized sequences now -- on a vast scale in this setting -- and last night had some really novel effects. Fireworks fanatics might like to read this City of Sydney fact sheet about the display.

The panorama link will delightfully resize your browser, so you can get the full effect, but it is definitely worth it.
