One of the last survivors of World War Two's most famous prison break, known as the Great Escape, has died aged 101.
Today we forget, the escaping wasn't so much about getting home, very few ever did, it was about keeping the enemy busy away from the front line. Every man who ended up searching for the escapees was one less gun on the front line.

Thanks for sharing. I probably wouldn’t had heard about it. The Great Escape is one of my favorite movies.
In real life the Allied forces totally manned up. They were all a special breed, something you don’t see much of today. If I remember correctly, the escape forced Germany to pull a huge amount of personnel from Normandy to go looking for the escapees. This allowed us to invade mainland Europe and eventually win the war. Paul Royle and his fellow escapees, should never be forgotten.

I can do this. I just have to work out the physics. I have quadrated my vector angles. I have adjusted for wind shear. Positive reinforcement.
Which movie?

I have seen this elsewhere.
I don't know what they call it.
Please help me (google and bing weren't smart enough)
This is the description of what I'm trying to name...
- A guy goes into an empty apartment
- He has some sort of weird upside-down looking camera
- It has some sort of weird reverse-mirror-fish-eye lens (Sorry, that's my best description)
- The guy sets the timer, and gets out of the room.
- The camera takes the picture
- He does that for every room in the apartment (remember, the place is empty)
- He then sends all those picture files to headquarters
- Back at HQ, a nerd takes those files and fiddles with them in software
- With enough nerd magic, a realistic, reasonably accurate, 3D presentation of the entire apartment is created
- Click click, cut, paste, FTP, blah blah blah
- Ta-Da, Website visitors can look at the apartment with a 3D 360 degree movie screen view
What is the name of the process I have just described ?

It's a "360 panorama". See this[^] link.

Thanks, but not quite it. What I've seen is a display where you actually scroll a 360 degree view.

That could be it. Yes, I think it is. I'll look some more. Thanks for the brain cells

I'd call the process geospatial mapping, and the outcome an on-line virtual-3d rendering. Not clear if what would be displayed on-line is a video. Are you seeking a name for a video about the process of geospatial mapping ?

No, not really. It is a video display, of sorts. You can pan left and right, and it actually looks like you're looking through a video camera.
