Create a Gigapan Game

Here's a place to create Gigapan games.

Gigapans can zoom in to incredible levels while preserving fine resolution, by combining multiple photos taken with their small Gigapan robot and stitching them together!

For me, I would like to hide objects on different levels that can't be seen in the overall picture.  They call this an Easter Egg hunt.  Here's one example by Gordon Atwell: It should actually work if you click on it!!
To see it full page, go to http://gigapan.org/gigapans/3768. This would be the 3d simulation the student goes through after drawing a pathway on a 2-1/2 d map, like Google Earth.
