QuickTime VR Virtual Reality Support for QuickTime Forrest Stroud
Virtual Reality Support for QuickTime
The QuickTime VR component adds functionality to the original player on two dimensions -- first it allows for scenes, or virtual reality spaces, which are non-interactive 3-Dimensional movies that give added depth to scenes like panoramic mountain-top vistas and architectural blueprints. Second, QuickTime VR also adds the capability for objects, which are interactive videos that allow you to examine, move, pick up, and make use of objects like books, art, and much more.
Versions 4.0 and later of QuickTime for Windows have integrated the QuickTime VR components with the standard QuickTime player and the QuickTime plug-in for Web browsers. As a result, it's no longer necessary to download the separate QuickTime VR package. For more information on QuickTime for Windows, check out our complete review of the product.
