About

The Sacred Spaces of New England project is my ongoing effort to document religious and spiritual gathering spaces—both historical and contemporary—within the New England region, using 360° panoramic imaging.

Since the 1787 invention of the immersive 360° painted panorama by Robert Barker, the panorama has been used to depict such subject matter as architectural complexes and historical events—aspects of our cultural heritage. Computer-based interactive panoramic imaging is an effective tool for documenting sacred spaces as it provides an immersive 360° recording of a place in time—allowing the viewer to understand an environment much like one would do in the physical world.

As this is an ongoing project, if you would like to suggest a religious or spiritual gathering space within the New England area to be documented, please send an email to: seth (dot) thompson (dot) arteducator (at) gmail (dot) com.
