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

[Steve Smith]

SteveG -

Crazy coincidence...   just today we had planned our Hague visit but 
waved off due to heavy rain (15 minute walks on both ends of our train 
travel if we don't see anything *but* the primary goal)...   We are 
rescheduled for a (less rainy) Sunday visit.   A new friend/colleague 
here Hank Kune (who you will be meeting in due time, he is working with 
Hubville's Anders Varger and is a good candidate for DualSpace 
spec/alpha) recommended the Panorama Mesdag which I didn't click 
immediately as being the specific classical Panorama you had referenced 
months back...  but as I was making the decision to wait it was because 
of *another* feature in the Hague you didn't (I don't think) mention 
that has significant relevance to augmented spatial reality and 
urban/landscapes.
