Apple QuickTime VR Authoring Studio

Overview

QuickTime VR Authoring Studio is a new professional software application based on QuickTime VR technology that allows web designers and multimedia authors to quickly and easily create QuickTime VR panoramas and objects. QuickTime VR Authoring Studio completely replaces existing difficult-to-use QuickTime VR tools which were based on MPW (Macintosh Programmers Workbench), a scripting-based application.

QuickTime VR Authoring Studio incorporates professional features like project manager, scene maker and object maker which are intended to simplify the production process of a QuickTime VR panorama movie. Unlike other VR authoring tools, QuickTime VR Authoring Studio helps create multi-node QuickTime movies containing objects and panoramas.

QuickTime VR is the acknowledged standard for creating and viewing photo-realistic environments (panoramas) and real-world objects on Mac OS and Windows computers. Users interact with QuickTime VR content with a complete 360 degree perspective and control their viewpoint through the mouse, keyboard, trackpad, or trackball. Using the QuickTime VR Authoring Studio, panoramas and objects are automatically "stitched together" from digitized photographs or 3D renderings to create a realistic visual perspective.
