Google delivers New York’s holiday windows to the masses via VR

Google delivers New York’s holiday windows to the masses via VR | Daring Fun & Pop Culture Goodness | Scoop.it

Google Shopping is offering a virtual tour of New York’s renowned holiday windows, Winter Wonderland, which allows consumers to use a smartphone or computer to see windows from 18 stores, including Lord & Taylor’s Enchanted Forest, as well as Barney’s — in which artist Nick Cave tackles race and gender — and Saks 5th Avenue, which features couture gowns from designers that were inspired by holiday treats.


“We’ve taken hundreds of high-resolution photos of each window and stitched them together with a new technique that creates a rich, life-like panorama — you’ll feel like you’re standing on the streets of Manhattan during the holidays, gazing at the windows as if you were walking next to them,” Aman Govil, Google's head of art, copy and code projects, wrote in a blog post.


What’s more, users with virtual reality headsets like Google Cardboard or Daydream can also hear surrounding sounds and sights, Google said....

November full moon will be 'kind of a super supermoon,' astronomer says

November full moon will be 'kind of a super supermoon,' astronomer says | Daring Fun & Pop Culture Goodness | Scoop.it

In astronomical terms, we're about to get up close and personal with our moon — super close, you could say. 

When a full moon reaches its closest point to our planet in its elliptical orbit, that's called a supermoon, or perigee in scientific terms. And this month's supermoon on Nov. 14 is going to be the closest we've come to our orbiting neighbour in almost seven decades.

The last time the moon was this close was 1948, and it won't happen again until 2034.

"In that sense, it's kind of a super supermoon," David Hanes, a professor of astronomy at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., told CBC News....

I love the Moon!  Esp. on the water, ocean, or pond.

My Mom sent this to me as a FWD email from my Aunt Connie (who is a notorious FWD funny SPAM emailer)  - so, of course I figured it was a fake MEME -- this couldn't be REAL, right?

 

Then I Googled it (natch) and found out it was for reals! OMGosh, this did have me laughing. So, don't judge me (and don't tell my Mom or I'll get more!) Luckily, years ago I fibbed and said that I wasn't allowed to get funny emails in my professional Gmail account. Heh heh heh.

 

Oops! Better not send this to Pinterest. Mum is cray cray over Pinterest! She might see my comments and then I'd be in trouble! BIG TIME!
