The image is of a Crepe Myrtle from the from the front garden. Using Fyuse which creates a 3D rotating view of a subject it creates an interesting presentation and coupled with recordings of bird songs captured in the mornings it provides a different way experiencing the Painted Pony Resort online.
If viewed from a smartphone, just rotate the phone to rotate the image, if viewed on a tablet or desktop computer just click and drag.
very cool ability! looks windy, ha! I'll try the music later.
ReplyDeleteYes it was a little windy but I wanted to try out the software and see how it worked. This works well on a smartphone all you have to do is rotate the screen to change the view. Facebook has something similar for large panorama images which I really like.
ReplyDeleteWell I do not have a smartphone nor do I use Facebook so I'll use the 'click and drag' which works just fine.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it works on your desktop and browser with the click and drag method. More and more guests are using smartphones to access the internet so I'm looking for presentation software that works on both. I usually test everything I post on a desktop, tablet, and now a smartphone to see how it appears to make sure what I see is what visitors to the site also see.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a smartphone but when I stopped working for Peg, I gave it back. It was paid for by her and the company.
ReplyDeleteLast year Google announced that the number of searches on mobile devices had surpassed those on desktop computers. So I have to adapt my online strategy to accommodate the changes. I must admit that the smartphone is a very handy tool.
ReplyDeleteYep I miss the smartphone (texting, searching) but that's one less bill to pay!
ReplyDeleteI understand completely. Since I work much of the time alone on the estate it is a useful safety tool. But I must admit I like streaming radio while outside working.
ReplyDeleteW got 6 months free trial of Sirius radio when he bought a used truck. We have gotten it every since and bought a radio to use indoors! We LOVE having blue grass music and other music all the time!
ReplyDeleteWith wifi beamed around the estate I can pick up signal and stream live radio around the main compound with no problem. The only downside is I do not hear vehicles like UPS and FedEx coming down Painted Pony Road when working and listening to the radio and have missed greeting the UPS guy several times.
ReplyDeletebummer on missing the UPS guy. Could he honk his horn to let you know he's there? or are you FAR away? Does he come at about the same time daily?
ReplyDeleteIf I miss him he leaves packages in a prearranged location. When not listening to streaming radio I can hear his truck from over a mile away coming down the road and I glance up and see either a dust plume or the truck, but with ear buds plugged in and radio going it is a lost cause.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know what you mean. We can hear a bird flying as it is really quiet up here, over 3 miles from highway 80 but I can hear a vehicle, particularly a semi on the highway if there are no other noises. I don't have ear buds but the FedEx guy surprises us leaving a package occasionally; guess he wants to stay on his schedule and NOT chat
ReplyDeleteSound carries pretty far out here and with little in the way of trees to block sound you can hear forever.
ReplyDeleteI finally listened to the recording! Hubbie is not often up this early but today he is. I needn't have worried as the bird sounds are light and he'd have slept through them anyway.
ReplyDeleteI recognized the quail in recording #2. I whistle to the birds when I walk the dogs but don't know the sounds I hear on the walk nor on these recordings.
I recorded the sounds with an iPhone application. I wanted to know if it was a viable method to capture sounds around the estate. I was just standing outside and not trying to get close to individual birds. I know some of the sounds were from the local doves, the rest are categorized as "I don't knows". But it is nice to go outside at sunrise and here all the different bird calls. It reinforces the idea that all the work on the landscape is paying off in more diversity in the wildlife. I realize that to many the work is transparent but every little bit adds to a positive guest experience when staying out in the valley at the estate.
ReplyDeleteYes I also recognize the Mourning doves' sounds. Good name for them as they do sound sad.
ReplyDeleteI have seen Mourning Doves, but mostly I see the Collard Eurasian Doves. Two Barred owls have also shown up and are hanging out but not much in the way of other raptors.
