Virtual Reality describes a range of experiences that enable a person to interact with and explore a spatial environment through a computer. These environments are typically artistic renderings of simple or complex computer models. Until recently, most VR applications required specialized hardware or accessories, such as high-end graphics workstations, stereo displays, or 3D goggles or gloves. Apple's crossplatform QuickTime VR now does this in software, with real photographic images, versus rendered artificial models.

Apple's QuickTime VR is now an integral part of QuickTime, it allows Macintosh and Windows users to experience these kinds of spatial interactions using only a personal computer. Furthermore, through an innovative use of 360 panoramic photography, QuickTime VR enables these interactions using real-world representations, as well as computer simulations.

There are several automotive, nature, factory and metropolitan city and life related virtual reality roundtrips on this CD-ROM. All of these "videos" are interactively controllable. As an example, imagine an automobile image, that can be interactively interrogated, including opening and closing its doors, wondering around it, zooming in and out, etc. all under interactive user control

The opportunities for interactivity, for learning by exploring under user control is vast, not just in education, but also in marketing and business in terms of showing and illustrating scenes, people, cultures, lifestyles, business practices, manufacturing, design and maintenance processes, facilities, factories, museums, artshows, exhibitions and products even remotely, that have never been explored like this before.

Ideal for designers, for creating exciting presentations and multimedia and for marketing. (Photoshop is a Trademark of Adobe Systems Inc., QuickTime and QTVR, QuickTime VR are registered Trademarks of Apple Computers Inc.)

Please note, that this poster frame is only a single frame of the several, full 360 degree panoramic, interactive QTVR movies on the CD-ROM.

Imagine the fun of navigating inside automobiles, machines, cities, factories and nature! This poster frame is only a single frame of the several, full 360 degree panoramic, interactive QTVR movies on the CD-ROM.
