QuickTime VR Panoramas!

Apple claims QuickTime "is everywhere!" and, thanks to their QuickTime VR ("QTVR") technology, you can be everywhere without leaving your chair: Immerse yourself in a 360-degree panorama or move an object around in 3-dimensional space, right from your computer.

While Professional photographers use some expensive equipment to create the "perfect" QTVR panorama or object, you can create them with just a plain camera, a tripod, an image-editing program like AppleWorks, and a little bit of patience: Here are some examples I've created as I tinker with this technology.

Check back from time to time to see new additions (they're outlined in red). Thanks!

As of September 17, 2001, the service hosting this web site, 50megs.com, has changed their policy: Sites hosted for free cannot use more than 12Mb total web space, and each file must be less than 250Kb in size.

Under this new policy the Quicktime VR panoramas shown below had to be removed.

It is certainly understandable that given the deep cutbacks in the computer industry & internet commerce companies would seek to extract as much revenue as possible from their customers in order to stay in business. However, my web sites are not designed to generate revenue: They've been created to entertain visitors & promote the Macintosh plaftorm. If you would like one of the panoramas below, let me know.

Thanks for visiting, and please visit the other parts of my web sites that are still available.
