Just like being there

The panoramas.dk site has a huge archive of 360 degree quicktime VRs. You can visit places near (Mt. Whitney, at Burning Man), far (Angkor Wat, Petra, Jordon) or out of this world (Apollo moon landing sites, Mars). From concerts (Riverboat Jazz Festival) to celebrations (New Year's Eve in NYC), it's almost as good as being there. (This one makes me dizzy.) Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page for more information about the scene.

The site also has tutorials for making your own panoramas and VR.

(note: QuickTime required. Many photos are enhanced with an audio track.)
