The UK's Wembley Stadium has posted a 10-gigapixel, 360-degree interactive panorama shot by photographer Jeffrey Martin of 360 Cities.net. It was stitched together from nearly 1,000 individual images taken with an unspecified professional DSLR inside the stadium three days ago during the FA Cup Final soccer/football match. In most parts of the image, it's possible to zoom in and easily recognize individual faces in the crowd.
A large stitched panorama of this type would normally take weeks to produce, but this one was made with the goal of having it shot, stitched, fine-tuned, and uploaded within 24 hours. As a result, there are still some visible stitching artifacts. Anyone with a Facebook account can tag themselves or friends while viewing and navigating the panorama; more than 18,000 fans have already been tagged.
