Hi Viatologists,

You might remember my discussion of Pyramid Lake and Sparks
earlier.    In itself, the Route 445 video showed the sights of rural
and suburban Washoe County.   Sparks is the eastern neighbour of Reno,
outfitted w/ many tract homes extending into northern Spanish
Springs.  Pyramid Lake, several kilometres from Sparks (but not too
many), is a Native American hotspot offering wintertime fishing and
waterskiing in the summer.

The video was nice in its own way, but its playback is sequentially-
based and not relative to your movement.  It's now your turn to get
into control!  With the following WHL-360 capture, you get a glimpse
of Sparks and Route 445:

You've heard of WHL-360 technology.  So what is it?  It's a special
algorithm that allows you to, from one fixed location, view a highway
from *any* angle.  Front, side and rear! WHL-360 uses a special
proprietary engine in an Apple Quicktime wrapper.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

Wow! That's one hell of a fault line that house is sitting on.....

And he must be related to David Copperfield, what with making half a car
disappear.

Yes, it was goofed on endlessly.  You had a "discussion" with the voices in
your head.  Please stop.

I don't move like that unless I'm trying to amuse children. Or scare
somebody.
