haha, me too. I zoomed in on the middle building first, in about the middle of that. There she was... I think my subconscious directed me :)

I then scanned most of the rest of the image. Anyone else notice the backpacker sitting on the bench next to his backpack? I think he is waiting for the bus...

cool stuff!!

With the internet bringing us mindblowing entertainment like this, it's an exciting time to be alive. ;-)

ok, i'll be the first pessimist. these photos get pretty soft and slightly noisy at 1:1. so, they're not really worth every pixel, if you know what i mean.

yup. so, since a 1MP jpeg is about 200KB, 1GP (at the same compression) would probably be about 200MB. with a 32GB SD card, you could store 160 photos.

Just had an idea for how a gigapixel camera could be used: A real life version of Where's Wally!

You'd get someone to dress as Wally and then hide somewhere in a landscape. The photo would get posted to the web and people could use the tool in the link above to scan it trying to find him.

There is no gigapixel camera

How does it work?

Gigapixel images are created by tiling a large number of photographs, or scanning a large film negative (8" x 10"). Gigapixel images are displayed on-line using streaming technology which breaks the image into small tiles and loads them as you look. This allows you instantly view high-resolution images that are over several gigabytes in size.
I wonder if they are doing anything with satellite imagery, that would be pretty cool.
