My name is Camo and you can read my story if you wish, where this Greek Island Touring Web-App is Initiative #1, BUT The GOOD NEWS UPDATE APRIL 2022 is that it is Initiative #6 Digital Nomad Matters that has morphed from an Initiative to a PROJECT which is at digitalnomadfriendlyhotels.com and the associated GOOD NEWS is covid is lifting, borders are open and I am finally able to RETURN to Greece starting with the Pre-Summer Shoulder for 2022 and get this new Web-App "on the road". THE GENESIS OF THIS WEB-APP Huge advancements in panoramic presentation were heralded in 2016 by this Article which prompted me to create a new Web-App format with examples such as Cotswolds-on-the-Tour and that posed the question of why not apply it to the HOME of the word Panorama which is the Greek Islands. By 2018 however that 26 Kg Google Trekker backpack had only been borrowed by the Authorities on Sifnos and Hydra, but the new technology of tiny dedicated panorama cameras meant ANYONE could Publish Panos to Google Maps, hence my term "DIY Trekker", giving yet another mode of adding Panos to the millions on Google Maps (mostly via the Street View Car) while creating a most viable activity for Digital Nomads. So this Web-App has its genesis purely as an "organisational" depiction of "where are the 7 Island Groups and what are the main Islands IN those Groups?". As seen, it convinced me to go from organisation to TRAVEL in 2019 and hopefully much more once covid allows, but I have subsequently enhanced it beyond my personal needs and at present it contains 43 Islands and as such is offered as one more type of Guide to the Greek Islands. ABOUT THIS WEB-APP The scene above is typical of thousands of locations in the Greek Islands and in this case is rendered from a panorama at Apollonas (one of my own in this case) on the island of Naxos in the Cyclades Group. To demonstrate the power of panoramas, which play a major role in my Web-Apps, you can take a sneak preview of this panorama, rotate 360 degrees left/right, zoom in/out and use the arrows to "walk" in either direction. |
