Pavlovsk Palace

Interactive Telecommunications Program, NYU 1991

Project Description: I traveled to Russia with a team from Apple Computer and The National Art Gallery.� We systematically recorded all the rooms of a famous summer Palace outside St. Petersburg.� I customized the rig that I made at Apple Computer, and did all the photography.� These were compiled and published on the QuickTime 1.6.CD as the first ever navigable scene, soon to be called QTVR.

I worked with Mike Mills, Mitch Yawitz, Eric Chen of Apple and Susan Massie and Kim Nielsen of National Gallery.

Technical Notes: This used a microcontroller from Radient systems, a pan and tilt head from Pelco and HyperCard software for control and playback.� This configuration was documented, built into a toolkit by Apple and sold by Radiant.
