| single-node movie | A QuickTime VR movie that includes just one node. Compare multinode movie. |
| spatial compression | Image compression that is performed in the context of a single frame. This compression technique takes advantage of redundancy in the image to reduce the amount of data that is required to accurately represent the image. Compare temporal compression. |
| speaker button | A button in the controller bar that allows the user to adjust the sound volume. |
| string atom | An atom in a QuickTime VR file that contains a string. |
| swing transition | A smooth motion from one view in a node to another view in the same node. |
| synthetic | Not real, as for example the objects in a computer-generated three-dimensional model. |
| scene | (1)
A site or location at which a photographer want to make a QuickTime VR movie. (2) A collection of one or more nodes. |
| single-node movie | A QuickTime VR movie that includes just one node. |
| spatial compression | Image
compression that is performed in the context of a single frame. This compression technique takes advantage of redundancy in the image, to reduce the amount of data, that is required to accurately represent the image. |
| speaker button | A
