Take a tour of the Discovery flight deck

Amazing 360 panoramic image of the Space Shuttle Discovery

Using rotational cameras with ultra wide-angle lenses, 360vr.com gives space fans the chance to see inside the Space Shuttle Discovery’s flight deck.

Taken during decommissioning in the Obiter Processing Facility last year, 360vr.com shot a series of full 360 degree spherical panoramic images which were then used to build a photographic ‘virtual reality’ style tour of the flight deck.

“Having an immersive virtual panorama allows your audience to be immersed in a seamless 360 degree visual environment that offers far more contextual information than a series of static images or a linear video clip for the same amount of downloadable bandwidth,” reads the 360vr site.

So if you’ve ever dreamed about being an Astronaut, check out the amazing images here.
