Interactivity

Michael Meany and Dr Keith Russell developed a series of web-based QuickTime panoramas that allowed viewers to virtually explore scenes around Newcastle. The panoramas and associated papers were delivered at the 2001 Computing Arts Conference. This research work culminated in a gallery exhibition called Print Projections at Watt Space Gallery, Newcastle in 2004.
