What is the quality of the resulting Object VR file at various resolutions? How do we balance file size with image quality?
The standard resolution for Web presentation of images is 72 dpi. For many Object VR projects, this resolution standard provides a sufficiently detailed view of the objects and will provide some zoom capability for users. Object VR movies consist of a number of images (usually 36), so the file size of a movie is significantly larger than that of a single image and will take much longer to download. If the image resolution is greater than 72 dpi, the resulting file becomes larger still and will further increase download time for users (even those with high speed connections). Higher resolutions (e.g., 150 dpi or 300 dpi) will allow for more clarity when using the zoom function. If you feel this is important for your users, consider providing both low (72 dpi) and high (150 dpi) resolution versions of your Object VR movies. If download time is not a consideration (for example, the interactive movies are to be used over an Intranet system or only by users with T1 connections) higher resol
