EscherWorms

One of my fascinations is with the artwork of M.C. Escher.

Escher tried to portray infinite repeating patterns in a fixed space.

It occured to me one day that, with a little careful engineering, one could encode a QTVR panorama that would extend Escher's fixed graphic into a seemingly endless view of what I have dubbed EscherWorms crawling around a typical Escher space filled with stairs and openings in all directions.
