IATH, with support from ARTstor and the Society of Architectural Historians, held a workshop for developing a Best Practices guide for using digital panorama photography in documenting cultural heritage sites. The workshop was the organizing event for writing a comprehensive guide for scholars, photographers, and students who want to use QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) and other panorama technologies to document, teach, and preserve historically significant architecture and landscapes. Photographers, architectural and art historians, and humanities computing and digital media specialists attended the workshop. For more information on the uses of QTVR in cultural heritage sites, check out "Spherical Photography and Cultural Heritage Sites".
