360° Bonsai Viewing

It recently came to my attention that a new form of media for viewing bonsai over the internet had come about. The technology is quite a common one and one that many people will see daily on sites selling products. The technology is used to allow the viewer to move an object around to view all of it's angles. This is obviously important when selling products so the customer can get a better idea of how exactly the product looks. However, this could also be a very useful tool for bonsai enthusiasts, allowing them to see a 3D view of a tree and move, by their own will, around the tree, to see every angle. There will be some critics of this I am sure, some may say that bonsai should only be viewed from a set angle. I feel this could be useful to people trying to seek help with bonsai however, allowing others to evaluate the tree and then more easily provide help and advice. I am very excited about how this can be evolved and used in bonsai, the example below was just a tester really to try the technology so apologies for the relatively poor image quality.
