Q & A
What's CubeWorld?
It's an iphone native application that's able to show spherical panoramas. Rendering is based on a cubic map and it's done using OpenGL.
What's a "spherical panorama"?
It's an image that can give you the feeling to be where the picture has been shot, because you can turn your eyes around 360°.
Where can I find other panoramas?
Well, you can try www.cubeworld.org (name's not by chance the same of this app) where you'll find a lot of other info about this project. Another userful link is www.geoffreymorelle.com
Is CubeWorld free?
Yes. CubeWorld is a FREE iphone application. If you like it, and if you want to, you can donate some spare money to Marco Giorgini for it (using the above Donation button) but it's your call. If you want to thank the author a postcard, or a book or whatever will be appreciated too :-).
Who's the author of this program?
Code and design are by Marco Giorgini, but everything is based on an idea by Geoffrey Morelle, who's also the author of all the panoramas inside the default package.
Who's Marco Giorgini, anyway?
Marco Giorgini is an Italian computer programmer, that lives in Modena. He works in the semantic/linguistic field (R&D for one of the major Italian software houses in that field). iPhone and games are ones of his hobbies.
