Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ha, nice. My initial reaction was "how'd they find that many pictures to point at each spot!?" Then I realized they'd only need a couple images, so long as they are big enough that they can be moved around (to adjust where they are pointing to). For a very general implementation, all you'd need to do is indicate a focal point (or focal line) and indicate which portion of the image should be shown at a minimum.

Ah you burst my bubble I thought they were taking a picture and displaying it in real time. Smile | :)

Typical developer! I do the same sometimes. When I see a nice piece of software I think, hmm, how did they code that or how would I code that?
