Brief Explanation
The panoramic environments were created from photographs taken with
a Voigtlander BESSA-L camera body equipped with a 12mm lens providing
112 degrees vertical by 90 degrees horizontal field of view in
portrait mode.
Panoramas were generated using the Panorama Factory software
package. The individual photographs were digitized and stitched
together to form a cylindrical panorama.
We view these panoramas in a head-mounted display virtual
environment system. Our virtual environment software maps left and
right eye panoramic images onto separate cylinders for display to the
left or right eye of the subject.

View from Broads Fork Twins (Eastern Peak) - Mono
These photos were taken on the eastern peak of Broads Fork Twins in
the Wasatch Mountain Range in Salt Lake City, Utah. The summit's

as Little Cottonwood Canyon, Big Cottwood Canyon, and the Uintas.
The panoramic image from this set is a monocular view from the peak.
I've included the individual images that were used to create the
panorama.
