It'll be a while, but I'm gathering info to buy stuff for my future Home Theater. When we've moved, the plan is to make a fresh start without our current 50KG tube. It's a fine screen for now, and theft-proof, digital tv is wasted on it, which also saves money. But it's enormous compared to the current standards.

Our current surround set/media center consists of a 8 year old 5.1 set combined with a 5 year old winxp beast. Pretty neat setup, though it's analog and the pc is loud and has a irritating high pitched tone. Composite tv-out on the tube forces the viewer to accept the always present vertical band and the level of blurriness you expected 10 years ago.

I have divided the list into the following categories:

• TV Screen
• Receiver (Surround sound)
• Media server/game console
• Digital TV (HD)

Comparison of three at tweakers.net.

The Samsung UE40B7000 (or UE40B7020) is currently priced at € 1159,- .

The Samsung UE40B6000 is currently priced at € 963,-, but doesn't have ethernet. The Sony Bravia KDL-40EX700 is currently priced at € 925,- , nicely priced and has it all.

I'll update this page when I have more.

Finally, it's been a while, but now I have it online! Multiple panoramas linked through hotspots. There are still some improvements possible, but for some tripod-less sessions, I think it's not bad at all.

Update: Google Maps integration with radar, plus additional project plan with radar!

Have a look!

Wow, this is cool. Never thought about it, but ofcourse, why shouldn't it be possible. If you have the right hardware… you might also be capable of creating this video VR.

In search for a nice free swf panorama creator, I found krpano. The website shows some stuff you can achieve with krpano, including gigapixel panorama's.

Found some nice High Dynamic Range images on google…
