QuickTime Virtual Reality
|
| QTVR Panoramas are ideal for showing outdoor scenes where a horizon to horizon perspective is needed or where the features of interest are wider than can be encompassed within a single viewing frame. Panoramas are assembled from multiple digital images captured by rotating the camera in place to produce a sequence of overlapping images, which are then assembled into a single, seamless image. Within the frame of view, the viewer can pan across the larger image and zoom into and out of the picture. Panoramas can be imported into Power Point (provided that QuickTime is the default media player) or viewed using the QuickTime player. The following panoramic images were taken in the field by Hofstra Geology faculty and students. |
