Panoramaist: Dream In High Park
Contributor Tony Makepeace is taking us for some spins around our city with his fantastic VR panoramas. You can look up, down, side to side, in and out—pretty much every direction but back at yourself, which would be kind of creepy. Say hello to Panoramaist: the Toronto shoe-gazer's worst enemy.

My favorite panoramaist so far... Love this new feature! Strengthens my resolve to continue to explore every nook & cranny of this city.
I went to the Dream on Saturday. Interestingly, there's a paragraph in the program banning photography before, during, and after the performance. CanStage doesn't want people taking pictures of their space at all.
Bravo for showing them how enforcable (and legal?) that is. This is really neat.
So cool!
The photo is fab! As the publicist at The Canadian Stage Company, I can assure you that the Torontoist.com contacted us in advance of the photo being taken - a necessary proceedure as The Company and the High Park Amphitheatre are governed by the local unions.
