Wraparound


In this array of full-screen interactive 360-degree panoramas of notable places, I enjoyed New Year 2008 on Westminster Bridge (with soundtrack) but what really got me going was the newly restored Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, where you can not only turn round but fly up and inspect the ceiling. How did they devise such a lousy treaty in such a gorgeous room?

Technical note

Before reaching each panorama I was pestered by a dialogue box blithering on about MIME types and the Quick Time plugin, whatever they may be. Clicked "No" each time and came to no harm. May you be as fortunate. (No liability, etc.)
