Summary: The QTVR Beta-Level Tools are for use in creating QuickTime VR content. The tools are beta-level and unsupported. Source code for these tools is available in the folder QTVR Beta-Level Tools Source. Make QTVR Object takes input in the form of a QuickTime movie with frames that are photographs of, or views of, an object. It combines these photographs or views into a single QuickTime VR object. Make QTVR Panorama takes input in the form of a PICT file generated by a computer graphics program or a scanned wide-angle or panoramic photo. It converts the PICT into a QuickTime VR panorama. These tools: € Make it easy for computer graphics program users to create QuickTime VR content. € Make it easy for photographers to convert photographs of an object into a QTVR object, and to convert wide-angle or panoramic photos into a QTVR panorama. € Do not support stitching of photos, the creation of "hot spots" on panoramas, or the combination of panoramas and/or objects into multiple-node movies. Use the QTVR 1.0 Authoring Tools Suite available in the Apple Developer Catalog for these purposes. The folders Make QTVR Object 1.0b2 and Make QTVR Panorama 1.0b2 contain the source code for the QuickTime VR beta-level, unsupported tools Make QTVR Object and Make QTVR Panorama. This source code is an example of how to use the file format information described in Apple Technote 1035, QuickTime VR 1.0 Panorama Movie File Format, and Apple Technote 1036, QuickTime VR 1.0 Object Movie File Format. This code: € Is beta-level and unsupported. € Is available as a pair of MPW Projector databases or as individual files. Requirements: These tools run on a Macintosh and require several megabytes of free memory -- the larger the files to be created, the more memory is required. The code requires a Macintosh and an appropriate development environment. Issues: These are beta-level tools and are unsupported.
