Wow, crazy resolution.

What are the applications of gigapixel imagery?
Gigapixel photographs are ideal for tourism, real-estate, architecture, medical imaging, archiving, and documenting special events. High-resolution images create the impression of "being there" by immersing the viewer within the scene. The extreme level of detail captured in a gigapixel image allows artifacts to be accurately preserved for future generations.

They forgot to add voyeurism. I also found a girl in underwear more on the left :P, except it's a full frontal view and the underwear is white haha. This definitely belongs in the other thread haha.

Hnn, interesting how they make it though, scanning a pile of 8x10 large scale negatives.

From the about page.

How does it work?
Gigapixel images are created by tiling a large number of photographs, or scanning a large film negative (8" x 10").


This particular shot looks like a 8x10 shot scanned due to the grain.
