QuickTime VR was presented as an ad on to QuickTime in 1994. The official QTVR support was in january 1995 and in Aug 1997 the QTVRAS - QuickTime VR Authoring Studio was launched. Cubic QTVR was released in QuickTime 5 as preview October 10, 2000</div><div>The basic idea in QTVR was that you now could make 360 degree panoramas by stitching several images together using computer technics instead of using special cameras. Several other developers have presented other viewers for panoramic images but the quality of QuickTime VR is still the best especially when you compare speed and the possibility to display the image in fullscreen..</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 17, 2009, at 9:45 AM, Matthew Nuzum wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>It's just an image that is overlayed onto the panaorma after the<br>images are processed.
