You are looking for a specific projection called Sterographic down or more commonly known as Little planet. Most panoramic software can do this. It takes a 360 pano like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/27306359@N07/4807997916/ and makes it into this http://www.flickr.com/photos/27306359@N07/4807997676/ You can also Fake this effect in photoshop. You can google "faking photoshop little planet" and plenty of videos should pop up. Now coding the rotation part that is an html part or CSS I don't know exactly where you saw this effect but I think if you looked at the code you would see the photo was just moved a few degrees. I also know of flash plugins that will help you display panos in some other manner and will allow zooming and rotation. Good luck with your application. Ron

Hope the owner get to use her camera for a long time. Hope if I lost something expensive and important the finder would work as hard to fine me. I know I would do the same for them.

You're a man after my own heart -- I'm usually the go-to guy for my friends and family when it comes to ferreting out this sort of information on the 'Net, and it's a blast to see someone else do a lot of the same things *I* would have in the same situation, and with such killer results! 7 months after it was lost it must have been like a second christmas for "the owner". :-D You rock! ~Y~ DUDE!
