The Great ECN Brain Dump

Creating a Panorama for the Virtual Tour of Engineering Labs

So Marian has asked you to take over the Virtual Tour, eh? She probably gave you the address, https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/VirtualTour, and told you to look at this Brain Dump thing for instructions. It's too bad that they last guy to work on this project isn't still around...or isn't he?

Well it just so happens that I am the guy who worked on this project before you, and I've transferred as much of my knowledge as humanly possible into this website. In fact, I've put so much information into this tutorial, you probably won't need it all. I suggest that you just follow along with these instructions as you make your first panorama, skimming ahead to the parts that tell you how to do what you don't know how to do. For future reference, you can come back to this page, where I have provided a handy table of contents, and skip to the section that you need.

So without further ado, let's continue with the lesson!
