What is advantage / disadvantages of creating an ADG File Format vs. Jpeg File format?
Main advantage of ADG format is real 3D virtual object rendering, it mean that ADG Java render implements special algorithms to correct cylindrical distortion. This correction allows to view panorama more realistic. JPEG panorama is flat image which is just scrolled left-right instead of true geometric calculations. It looks not so realistic as in ADG or QTVR formats. JPEG format has small file size because it does not support zoom and so no necessity to have image resolution reserve. If cylindrical correction not so important then JPEG format may be suitable, because require just javascript enabled, it’s practically always true. You can use JPEG format if your target is wide range of web clients. Also, we can advice you to combine both formats. Just insert javascript code inside applet tag – then if Java is disabled or not installed, javascript will be used.
