One of the world's moste detailed images, the new Gigapixel photograph, has been unveiled in Dubai. At the heart of the photograph sits a Bentley Flying Spur W12 S in the luxury marina of Dubai. The groundbreaking NASA-derived technology of the Gigapixel image allows you to explore and experience the city panorama in intricate detail when you zoom out. The image will take you in sharp focus once you zoom in, through the landscape, right up to the bonnet badge of the Flying Spur.
Bentley said it suspended a camera 264 metres up the Cayan Tower in Dubai to capture the image. The innovative technology used had to withstand 40-degree heat that created a haze and 25 km/h winds that threatened to disrupt stability. A total of 57.7 billion pixels were carefully stitched together to create a single image that also balanced light levels across each pixel. The process took 48 hours and 1,825 frames to create. Saving the image to a disk took a further 18 hours.
