Panorama player comparisons - medium - QuickTime VR

What panorama players are available? How does the choice of player affect the way a panorama performs? Is the image rendered differently? How long does it take to load? These examples show over a dozen different panorama players, each using basic settings and copies of the same source images, to help find answers to questions such as these.

First launched: 1995
Version used here: n/a
Production GUI: Third-party only (see notes)
System requirements: QuickTime 7 or earlier (QuickTime X doesn't support QTVR on its own)
Further info: apple.com/quicktime/

Medium examples use 6000x3000px equirect or 1732px cubeface images
