I was playing around at work with printing out some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2001\/07\/back_again.html\" title=\"Eclecticism: Back again!\">panoramic shots<\/a> I&#8217;d clumsily put together using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop\/main.html\" title=\"Adobe Photoshop\">Photoshop<\/a>, and one of the guys I work with pointed me to a really cool little PC program called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.panoramafactory.com\/\" title=\"The Panorama Factory\">Panorama Factory<\/a>. After taking a series of shots, you feed them into the program, and it does all the work of warping and assembling the pictures into a finished panorama!<\/p>\n<p>The coolest thing about this program, though, is that if you have a full 360-degree set of shots, it can create a Quicktime VR movie file! QtVR files allow you to click and drag around a photograph as if you were standing at the point where the photo was taken &#8212; they can be pretty cool to play with. <del>So, on that note, check the rest of this post for a QtVR file I just made of my apartment! It&#8217;s a little messy, but that&#8217;s about the norm &#8212; it&#8217;s not too bad, or I wouldn&#8217;t put this up!<\/del> You will, of course, need <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/quicktime\/\" title=\"Apple: Quicktime\">QuickTime<\/a> installed on your system to view the file. You&#8217;ll also want to give it a moment to load if you&#8217;re on a dial-up modem, it&#8217;s a 1.1Mb file, so won&#8217;t be super-quick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QtVR files allow you to click and drag around a photograph as if you were standing at the point where the photo was taken &#8212; they can be pretty cool to play with.
