Giga Selfie: World’s biggest selfie to be clicked in Australia

Promoting its tourism, Australia is giving its travellers the opportunity to be the part of World’s biggest selfie ever taken. The ‘Giga Selfie’ event will be held around the country starting with the Gold Coast from 11am to 4pm on September 5 and 6.

There are no selfie sticks and monopods involved in this picture. Instead its genius what they are doing. It uses a high definition camera and cellphone technology to click an image, which is wide enough to accommodate a record-setting gigantic crowd.

To take the selfie, the travellers will stand at designated spot and then use the Giga Selfie app on their smartphone to trigger a distant camera, which captures them and the surrounding landscape. A link is then emailed to them and they can share their image as a short video clip which starts as a close up selfie and pulls back to reveal their location.
