What is QuickTime VR (QTVR) Authoring Studio CD?

Apple® QuickTime® VR Authoring Studio software lets you create interactive virtual-reality scenes with point-and-click simplicity. It takes full advantage of the intuitive Mac® OS interface to help you easily turn photos and computer renderings into attention-getting 360-degree views. QuickTime VR Authoring Studio is a powerful one-stop solution for producing all kinds of QuickTime VR content.

The five tools in the QuickTime VR Authoring Studio suite cover all steps of creating an immersive environment, from controlling camera positions while
taking the original photographs to blending the images together to optimizing your finished scenes for web or CD-ROM use. QuickTime VR supports 360-degree views called panoramic movies, as well as object movies that allow users to view an object from all sides. Both objects and panoramas can be fully interactive, with zooming, animation, and hot spots linked to other multimedia objects.

Finished QuickTime VR movies can be viewed on computers running Mac OS or Windows software through either the QuickTime Plug-in for web
browsers or any application that can play standard QuickTime movies. The former capability makes QuickTime VR movies exciting additions to educational, entertainment, and commercial web sites. QuickTime VR Authoring Studio is also ideal for producing large, complex interactive experiences for CD-ROMs.

QuickTime VR is based on Apple’s QuickTime technology for dynamic data, so your virtual-reality scenes can take advantage of an entire suite of QuickTime services. For example, a full 360-degree QuickTime VR panorama saved through the QuickTime JPEG image compressor can be as little as 50 kilobytes in size.

This means that a fully immersive QuickTime VR scene can be downloaded from a web site quickly even with a 28.8-kilobit-per-second modem. And with the “FastStart” feature available in the QuickTime Plug-in for web browsers*, users can begin viewing QuickTime and QuickTime VR movies while they’re still being downloaded.
