I came accross this press release today. Mike Constantine is selling signed hi-res panoramas but you can look at the pans online for free and really get a sense of what it's like on the moon.
New Virtual Reality Panoramas released by Moonpans.com, gives the viewer an An Astronauts Eye View Of The Lunar Surface. Made from photographs taken by the Apollo Astronauts over 30 years ago, and assembled into 360 degree Virtual Reality movies, now anyone can experience what it was like to stand on the surface of the moon.There are 7 movies so far, covering Apollo's 11, 12 14, 15 and 17 with many more coming soon.
The VR movies were made by Moonpans.com from their exclusive print resolution panoramic images which were assembled seamlessly from images captured by the Apollo Astronauts during each of the landing missions.Once you have loaded a movie, all you need to do is click your mouse on it, and drag your mouse around whilst keeping the button pressed. You will then be able to look around the various Apollo moonscapes as if you were there yourself.
