We have developed some interesting software which enables a series of
still images taken of the four polar directions from crucial positions
in a buildings to recreate in interractive exhibition environment. It is
being used at present as the basis for the Gallery of Iterating Spaces
(see http://www.demon.co.uk/synaptic-connections), but could be adapted
for roaming around any kind of building, gallery, museum, stately home
etc.
