Largest Photo on Earth: Taken by Hungarians
28, July 2010
The world’s largest photo is dedicated to a Hungarian team called 360 World. According to the press conference of Tuesday in Budapest, the 70 gigapixel-sized photo is unique as it is larger than the similar ones of Rio de Janeiro, Wien and Dresden.
The loading and processing of the huge-sized picture took hours even for heavy-duty computers. In order to accerelate the process, the photo was cut into three peaces. The final incorporation took 55 hours.
Guinness authentication will start soon. The 360 World group has future plans of taking a similar panoramic picture of Pécs, the Cultural Capital of Europe.
