Budapest in a 70 Billion Pixel Panoram

Another record breaking panoram, this time 70 Billion Pixels, created by 360world combines the results of 2 Sony A900 cameras with 400mm Minolta lenses on robotic camera mounts shooting straight for two days.

After another two days of post-processing, they wound up with this amazing 200GB file and 15-meter wide print of the beautiful Budapest hillside.  Hit their site (it’s a bit slow at the moment) to browse the photo interactively.
