Panorama Backpacker

One one of my feeds I found a reference to the Panorama Backpacker client (for Windows and OS-X). The client accesses an online database with panorama images. These panorama images give you a 360 degrees view. The images were shot all over the world. They seem to be mainly made by Hans Hagen. You can search the panorama database through a list, search, thumbnails or a presentation of the world. Move to the intended spot on the world, select a country and see a list of available panorama’s.

Yet another web-application with its own client. I like the special client, but the browsing of available panorama’s can be improved. A separate pane in the main window would be a good idea. For the moment this seems to be a personal effort by Hagen. It would be nice if it could grow to a community project. Where anybody can add its panorama’s. Thus you would able to have a look at many places in the world. It could be part of the Earth-browser: scroll over the earth to the spot you want, zoom in and select an available panorama.
