In November 2016 Friends Of The Auburn Tower held an opening night to launch the TOWER PANORAMA by Hidden Melbourne. Former premier Ted Baillieu gave a stirring speech about the “Power of Towers” to enable us to see distant views and make visual connections to other high places surrounding us.
The TOWER PANORAMA is a high resolution 360° panoramic view from the spire which has been printed and mounted on the four walls inside the tower. It will be used in guided tours and enable those who cannot climb to the top, to be able to enjoy the view. The panorama is also an electronic interface, as we have included printed QR codes which can be scanned by mobile phones and drop the viewer onto remote towers which are visible from Auburn Uniting Church.
Here is a view of one panel of the panorama, showing the Western View (North, East, South and West are on the four walls). Barney is demonstrating the QR codes which open up the view from a distant tower when scanned.
Nothing beats climbing up the tower itself, please contact AUC and make a visit: Friends of Auburn Tower
We have also added a Gigapixel view from the tower balconies, which are extremely difficult to access. Enjoy it here: Gigapixel view
