Introducing 360desktop and looking to showcase photographer content
Submitted by 360desktop on Fri, 2008-06-27 09:43.Hi Everyone,
A quick note to (re)introduce 360desktop, which after more than 3 years of development, goes into public (beta) release end next week.
360desktop transforms the desktop into a 360-degree workspace, personalized with 360-degree wallpaper.
While the product does some clever things like letting you to grab any web content and put it on your desktop, the key feature, is that your 360-degree background can now be your favorite pano.
PanoSalado, the open-source Panorama Viewer (Flash + PV3D)
Submitted by cheathamlane on Sun, 2008-06-22 03:31.Hi there:
Just a quick note to say that our open source pano viewer from flashpanos.com has gotten its own blog -- this will make it much easier to update and keep folks updated about.
It's still living at flashpanos.com, just with its own niche in the site.
Lots of changes afoot in the viewer recently, and astute readers will notice an increasing dependence on XML. We're trying to keep it friendly to both Flex and Flash developers, and to the novice coder and experienced alike. In any case, enjoy!

In an effort to localize information regarding the current crop of Flash based panorama players, and since some of the developers don't have forums (or ones that exist are clunky, spammy or broken), I have widened the focus over at flashpanos.com.
