Virtual Exhibition and Tour Pages

We produce virtual tours of all of our exhibitions using Live Picture's Reality Studio package. These go on the Thinker as a standard part of our exhibition pages. Linked photographic panoramas allow people who can't make it to the museum to "visit" online and those who are planning a visit - like teachers with school groups - to preview an exhibition. We have also built a database to handle all of this content and to automatically build the pages once it's been collected.

The Zoom Project

A collaboration between the Fine Arts Museums and the Computer Science Division of the University of California at Berkeley. The goal is to provide high resolution images with multiple levels of zoom in the Imagebase. The storage and delivery for the GridPix images is provided by a three terabyte system being developed by the Tertiary Disk Project at UC.
