Learning French
Check the new Nevis Range panorama. We’ve got the webcam up on the gable wall of the Snowgoose restaurant & bar and taking clever shots of the amazing views from the top station. We’re now using some clever French software, from a company called Trinum, which also powers many of the European ski resort panoramas. If you go to their website and look under Liste des webcams (top left) and scroll down to – International – you’ll find panoramas for the Lecht and Glenshee too. The software basically takes lots of images and then stitches them together to produce the Nevis Range panorama. We’re then able to designate locations where we want the camera to take zoomed pics, and we’ve chosen the best views, the starts of the bike tracks as well as some of the ski tows and runs. And in the winter, we’ll move the images so they take the best pictures possible of the snow conditions. So many thanks to everyone for making this possible … to Trinum in France, Hotscot our webdevelopers, Redcat our IT gurus, and the Nevis guys for actually putting the webcam up on the gable wall! Oh, and a special thanks to Google for helping us translate the French software into English :) Please let us know what you think, and either comment on this blog post, or email us at marketing@nevisrange.co.uk.
