QTVR has been a major part of my work ever since it's first release, starting with the pioneering CD-Rom work at 21st Century Media and continuing during the six years I spent at Apple working with the QuickTime team on the technology.
All of the movies can be viewed via the web pages below, and a selection can be viewed in my "panoviewer" (a custom, skinned player) where indicated. Either way, QuickTime is required.
Apple Cubic VR Gallery
During the development of Cubic QTVR (released with QT 5) I shot a lot of cubic panos and experimented a with in-production software for stitching them.
Many of the Cubic VR movies on Apple's site are my work, including "Times Square", "Forest", "Grand Central Station", "Paris, Vegas".
IQTVRA Summit Demo
In October 2002 the IQTVRA held a gathering in Boulder, Colorado. I created a demo for a session which I presented on enhancing the presentation of QTVR movies. The goal of the demo was to show how one could make a generic "player" movie which was flexible enough to play back different content without modifing the movie itself. Page includes a downloadable LiveStage Pro project.
Japan
A collection of cubic panoramas shot in a variety of locations in Japan in the spring of 2001. They were all captured hand-held with a fisheye lens on a digital camera and painstakingly processed with Panorama Tools.
Pano Sync
A demo piece in which one can choose a pair of panoramas from a set and pan them in sync. The panos follow the progress of a remodel from 3D-rendered visualizations through demolition and re-building, all from roughly the same location.
There is also a web page with more panos from the remodel.
Mono Lake
A tour of the South Tufa area of Mono Lake on a strikingly beautiful day. The web page demonstrates the way in which a multi-node QTVR tour can be built for the web without requiring the complete download by the user.
Easter in Mexico
Panoramas shot in and around Oaxaca at Easter time. All shot on film, hand-held.
One of the first QTVR-based CD-Rom titles, Prestige Studios of the World provided a "Unique virtual tour of ten of the world's finest recording studios". I was in charge of all the Director work, and also created a large number of 3D-rendered QTVR Panoramas with animated transitions to guide the viewer through the interface and to the various studios.
