3D Panoramas – Comparing QTVR and Flash using Papervision3D Classes and AS2

So here’s my first attempt at creating 3D panoramas in QTVR and Flash using the Interactive Multimedia Lab as a demo. I used a “point and shoot” Canon PowerShot and a tripod.

Things to note:
- Flash file isn’t optimized for the web
- The top and bottom panels are blank
- Limited to a cube, which forced me to squish the photos
- The QTVR file is a lot lighter in file size

Flash w Papervision3D and AS2:

I would like to figure out how to shoot the ceiling and floor to make the cube complete.

    1. Great work
    2. Jason’s head looks funnier than the normal in the Flash version.
    3. I wish we had that sky vision in the selling in the understanding that we live in a basement.
