The Beijing Guide Shows Birdseye View of 2008 Olympic Construction
The Beijing Guide, the Internet's most interactive guide to Beijing, has launched clear and detailed imagery of the main 2008 Olympic venues. The panoramic views can be seen on the website which will continually update viewers on China's Olympic progress right up until the opening ceremony in August, 2008 as well as show progress over time. Shot from the top of a high rise residence beside the main Olympic construction area, the high resolution images cover 270-degrees and are comprised of eleven photographs stitched together overlooking the Olympic Green and the major Olympic venues.

"The Beijing Guide combines expert photography and world-class technology to expand the horizons of image projection. We want people to see the world around them from a natural perspective. The moving view of the 2008 Olympic construction area gives the sensation one is turning their head atop a viewpoint." said Peter Danford, photographer and managing director of The China Guide.

Based in Beijing, Mr. Danford has been working with virtual reality photography since the introduction of Quicktime VR by Apple in 1994. A commercial photographer and computer programmer, Mr. Danford merges the skills to create his unique style of web content.
