How many slices are we talking about here? The process is not suitable
for raves or street demos, but I must admit those aren't the *only*
kinds of thing I shoot... ;)

Do you think that's largely because of the overall quantity of data that
would be involved? Full HD is just 2 megapixels, which is ludicrous for
showing full-screen panos on modern screens. 4K is much better by
comparison, but it's still only around 8 megapixels ? not my kind of
wonderful. Oh boy, I seem to be talking myself into handling gigapixel
levels of data. :-/
