Using Second Life to Create Panorama Based on Real World's Photos

Filed under: Second Life — timwang @ 05:22:47 pm

Today I found a new use of Second Life. I had a few shots of a living room that I would like to create a panorama of. But due to the limited space in the real world, the pictures were taken from different spots of the room which means the perspectives of the photos are really screwed up. You can't possibly use any standard “stick them together” software to create the panorama. Therefore, I uploaded the pictures into second life, created a few boards and textured them with the photos. Then I freely rotated / enlarged the boards and easily fit them together in the 3D space. Voila, an accurate panorama created using on 2D photos that were shot in different angles and location of the room!
