A guy that used to be here at work, and some friends of his, have recently started up a website, showcasing their hi-res gigapixel images: http://www.xrez.com

It uses the google maps API for zooming in/out, and navigation around a photo, and there are some pretty good details on how their shooting process.

It would have been nice to have this rig over Thanksgiving, while I was at the Grand Canyon.

hi-res gigapixel images

Pretty impressive. I can actually read the license plate of the Jeep Liberty stopped at the stoplight in the extreme lower right corner of the picture.

I located some guy's computer desk complete with cheesy speakers in one of the windows on he left.

I'm not quite sure what the resolution of the final images are -- they're stitched together from a gazillion photos taken with a Canon DSLR on a motion control rig.

According to the website they're 35000x70000 pixels:

There's some interesting photos on the site about the capture process.
