VR Toolbox

QuickTime Virtual Reality is an extension of the QuickTime technology developed by Apple Computer, Inc. that allows viewers to interactively explore and examine photo realistic, three-dimensional, virtual world. Unlike many other virtual reality systems, QuickTime VR does not require the viewer to wear goggles, a helmet or gloves. Instead, the viewer navigates in a virtual world using conventional computer input devices (such as the mouse, trackball, track pad or keyboard) to change the displayed image via the QuickTime VR movie controller.

QuickTime VR is fast becoming one of the most important assets you can have, bringing a new level of interactivity and motion to web design and multimedia productions. As in all our products, the user can create interactive QuickTime VR movies quickly, simply and professionally, with any kind of camera . . . film, digital, video or created on the computer using a three-dimensional (3D) graphics package.

A QuickTime VR movie contains all the date for a QuickTime VR virtual world. The movie contains a single scene, which is an aggression of one or more nodes. A node is a location in a virtual world which an object or panorama can be viewed. For panoramic nodes, the node's position is the center point from which the panorama is viewed. Any number of nodes, objects, panoramas, linear movies or stills, can comprise a QuickTime VR Scene.
