ABSTRACT
Scott Highton, one of the pioneers of virtual reality photography, will present an overview of methods and techniques for photographing VR panoramas.

I particularily liked your half dome documentation showing your inspiration and execution of that VR Photography project, filmed entirely by your self. Outstanding work.....read part 3
The only obejction i would have and like to voice is the misconception of the rear nodal point of beeing the no parallax point for panoramic photography. It has been proven wrong and can be explained as being the center of the entrance pupil, instead. It is a virtual aperture that defines the area at the entrance of the optical system that can accept light. This depends on several critical factors in VR photography.
