Panedia.com is a content creation and licensing company that specializes in high-quality, geo-referenced panoramic photography.
Currently, the site offers photography of locations in Australia (where the company is based) and San Francisco, but it plans to cover more areas soon. The name “Panedia” is a compound of the words ‘panoramic’ and ‘encyclopedia,’ which the site says reflects its goal of creating “a professionally produced visual reference and archive of our changing world.” All imagery featured on Panedia.com are shot by professional photographers. The site offers 360-degree images of “amazing places,” as well as over 3,500 panoramic tours that you can navigate alongside the corresponding Google Map. For $25 per year, you can download any of the site’s images to use as desktop wallpapers.
Panedia.com In Their Own Words
“While our content is created for all mediums from print to video, online street level mapping combined with beautiful immersive georeferenced panoramas, is a match made in heaven, and represents the bulk of our development at present.”
Why Panedia.com It Might Be A Killer
The photo quality here is much higher than from other web sources like Google Street View. Some of the photography is truly breathtaking, and as the site expands to Europe and North America in the coming year, as planned, it will likely gain a lot more traffic.
Some Questions About Panedia.com
While the photos on this site are beautiful, are many people really going to pay $25 per year to use them as wallpaper? Could Panedia.com sell access to their panoramic tours or “amazing places” 360-degree photos to travel agents or other companies that might find them useful?
