[FRIAM] Panorma Mesdag while in the Hague (Fwd: Immersive Panoramas of the late 1800s, Edinburgh and other cities (first immersive metaverses))

[Stephen Guerin]

Steve,

Reminder of this past thread on panoramas and to check out Panorama Mesdag (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panorama_Mesdag) while in the Hague. I don't
want to oversell it but I love the pure analog creation of immersion. Also,
perhaps it was special because Ali, the boys and I,  spent a few days prior
in the Hague beachside district of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheveningen which is the location of the
panorama paiting so I was very familiar with the location.

Reminder on the era of panorama immersions in this thread:

> Cool youtube on history of panoramic drawing from Calton Hill, Edinburgh

there was another museum in The Hague we went to, Mauritshuis, that had
some other artist but I forgot his name.

Stephen

Cool youtube on history of panoramic drawing from Calton Hill, Edinburgh
for immersive exhibitions in London

Other cities, like Venice are included in the youtube

Thought of you, Robert, given your time in Edinburgh and for some reason
when I heard the UofEdinburgh librarian utter "It does and it doesn't
<https://youtu.be/wpSeIkl2EI4?t=94>" - I felt your presence :-)

BTW, I was blown away when I experienced Panaorma Mesdag in person at the
Hague with Ali and the boys a couple years ago
https://www.holland.com/global/tourism/destinations/the-hague/panorama-mesdag.htm

The mixed media effect with real sand dunes and grass in the foreground,
the gazebo and the skylight that allowed natural sunlight and cloud shadows
for illumination on the 360 panorama gave an awesome sense of presence.
Better than VR headset as I experienced in person with my family
unencumbered with headset and intersacting with foreground people. Google
