21 April 2011: This 360 degree panorama of the Strahov Philosophical Library at the Strahov Monastery in Prague is the largest indoor photo in the world! Created from 3,000 individual photos, the photos were stitched together into a single image that is 280,000 x 140,000 pixels. The entire picture is around 40 gigapixels or 40,000 megapixels. A print out of the photo would measure around 23 meters or 78 feet in length.
Tourists are usually not allowed access to the hall but viewers all over the world can now zoom into the interactive photo and admire the impressive library and volumes from their own homes. The photo was shot and created by 360cities.net, a company that specializes in shooting and creating spherical gigapixel panorama photos. The 360 visuals are effective for injecting flair into any cultural, destination and tourism marketing campaign.
