3D Photosynth Photo Panoramas

Note that these panoramas depict the subject in 3 dimensions. Viewing these panoramas requires Microsoft Silverlight; click 'ok' if you are asked to install it. If you do not have access to Silverlight, you may still be interested in my regular photographs of Buddhist sites in India (located on Panoramio)

Visitors here may also be interested in my 3D panoramas from other Indian Buddhist sites, and regular photographs of Buddhist sites in India (located on Panoramio), as well as my photosynths of Buddhist art from India.

I have many additional panoramas available. If you have particular interest, please write to me (osgood 'at' cs.usask.ca), and I can provide you access to the broader set.
