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.

The project shows the use of many interactive QT features, such as QTVR, Wired Sprites, Movie Media tracks, qtlists, and more. It demonstrates the use of the New Sprite Track Image command, new to QT 6.0, and shows how one might use wired actions and sprites to design a controller which not only looks different from the default QTVR controller, but works differently as well.

Download the LiveStage Pro 4.0 project (150k .sit file - does not include child movies). View the Read Me from the project.

Some of my other work I showed:

• Mono Lake: Multi-node tour with separate, URL-linked panoramas.
• Stiff Richards.com: Various interactive qt bits linked together in html.
• Kitchen Remodel demo: Photographic and 3D panos over a four year period which can be panned in sync.
