What is “panoramic VR?
Panoramic VR refers to an image on a computer screen that moves as the user moves their mouse to show a realistic view of the area originally photographed. This view is usually 360° around and a variable amount up and down. The most generally well known form of panoramic VR is QuickTime VR, which was introduced in 1995 with a software kit which allowed photographs to be joined in a seamless fashion to create a continuous panoramic image. The QuickTime VR playback software then manipulated this image in real-time to show a realistic view of the area originally photographed, with additional features such as hotspots linking the locations.
