In 2010 the Lincoln Park Zoo rebuilt their south lagoon and in the process hired Studio Gang to design an open air classroom. What they created was this beautiful bent wood and fiberglass enclosure that quickly became one of my favorite quiet spots in the city of Chicago.
This series of photographs explores a variety of ways to translate this highly geometric 3d structure into a two dimension photograph. Each projection is designed to preserve certain information (keeping horizontal or vertical lines straight, maintaining proper relationships between object sizes, etc.) at the expense of other information. The basic image is a 360 degree panorama with a vertical field of view of about 150 degrees. Each of the images in this series were created from the same 60 images stitched together.
This is one of your standard projections you'll see with panoramas. Here I have extended the horizontal field of view to be 540 degrees which is why you see a repeated element on both the right and left sides. By doing this I never have to lose details by cutting them in half and placing them on the edge.
This can serve as the guidelines for a perspective equirectangular drawing (which could then be loaded into your favourite spherical imagery viewer.

360° panorama
Hm. Not very good.
Taken with the official linden Lab Panorama Viewer. Clearly visible stitching, texture thrashing like there's no tomorrow. I don't think this is a very ... refined product.
Or maybe I'm too blonde to use it properly, who knows!
360 image of my bachelor apartment in second life. It was created for a store, i had to edit to make it into an apartment, i couldn't get rid of those bright panels so i added an animated script so it looks like blue fog, its actually pretty dope
