Places (helior dot info)

"Oh the places you'll go!" — Dr. Seuss

"Places" is a website for demonstrating some of the more interesting landscapes and interiors I have visited around the world. The visuals are represented as interactive 360° panoramic images. I hope you enjoy it!

Technology

• Build using a node.js-based static-generator called Metalsmith
• 360° panoramic sphere is build using Three.js
• Images that wrap around the geometric sphere are generated by using the Microsoft PhotoSynth app on my mobile phone
• Deployed via Travis CI and generously hosted for free using Github Pages

Nice-to-have TODOs:

• use grab/grabbing cursors when interacting with images
• use metalsmith-convert to auto-optimize images (and produce thumbnails for main navigation)
