Panorama player comparisons - large - 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.
Notes: QuickTime VR content is created by a number of third-party applications including PTGui, Pano2VR, AutoPano Pro, and CubicConverter. QuickTime VR helped establish high-quality interactive panoramic photography, but it is no longer supported by Apple's latest version of QuickTime.
This QTVR panorama was generated using Pano2VR.
First launched: 1995
Version used here: n/a
Production GUI: Third-party only (see notes)
