CleVR panoramas

Published by Mike Temple under Photos, Pictures

Tis is a really interesting development in imaging technology. You can take a panoramic view and the software stitches your pictures together - nothing really new about that, but when you view, the panorama is shown like a Virtual tour. Now this normally costs money to produce, but here, it’s for free.

CleVR is a UK based company and I think they’re well worth a mention.

Uses:

  • VR tour of the classroom, playground etc
  • Field trips
  • insides of buildings

do you have any great ideas?

Oh yes, and it can be embedded in a post, which is why I think it’s so cool - thanks to Joe Dale for that link

See how it’s done CleVR Stitcher tutorial screencast

Embedding a Flickr picture show

Published by Mike Temple under Photos, Pictures, Widgets

Flickr is again a free service. To embed a badge - horizontal, vertical or tiled

  1. sign up for a Flickr account
  2. upload some photos
  3. go to the badge page - not sure where the link is at this moment
  4. choose the badge shape
  5. select the other options offered
  6. copy the code in the box
  7. open up an Edublogs post in edit mode
  8. Write in any text you wish to have,
  9. click on the code tab at the top
  10. put the cursor where you want the badge to appear
  11. paste in the code
  12. Publish
  13. enjoy

www.flickr.com

Note:  this was not as simple as it looks - I ended up with lots of unwanted code in the post and had to delete it manually - anyone any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Also, I’m unable to find the link on the Flickr page which leads to me finding the embed code - dohh - I’m not feeling very bright with this embed stuff - I’m hoping Patricia is reading this and can give me the right way to do it - again!

Once again any help will be welcome
