I suspect the EndPoint guys are on long flights home!
Here's a 7 screen Liquid Galaxy at the World Ocean Summit in Singapore this week, showing a Catlin Seaview Survey underwater pano on Liquid Galaxy

Looks very good.

Would still be really really nice to be able to fly into, around and thru pano's natively without having to switch in & out of the spatial context that LG provides.

Ideally we'd want these linked pano's to be navigable in a similar way as the Street View bubbles. ie. by simply pushing-through into the adjacent pano.

I'm not sure how this will be different to the StreetView pano's, I doubt there's any '3d' depth information (to distort the sphere) like we have with StreetView.

Also the release says "uploaded to Google Earth", but what does that mean? Most likely just a set of discrete clickable pano's. *ugh*

BTW here is 360cities.net underwater pano's can look like on Liquid Galaxy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Roo9WxnFcJQ

Neat, I haven't had a chance to see this in person yet.  End Point guys, you did the underwater panoramas using mplayer?

[Kiel Christofferson]

Yes, with MPlayer. We created some scripts (which we're working on
speeding up and enhancing for "motion" in various directions) to
"animate" movement across the source images and encode MJPEG videos from
a still image. This gives the impression of spinning/panning "within"
the sphere. Room for improvement, but it's pretty stunning in an LG
setup.
