About 360 VR |
Technology |
|
360 VR Photography makes it possible to take an interactive virtual tour of nearly any remote location or scene right from your computer. 360 VR or Virtual Reality, is a 360 degree panorama image which looks outward in all directions from a central vantage point. Rotating the image makes you feel as if you were actually there, standing in the middle of the scene. 360 VR Photography provides the user with a more accurate representation of a space than a still image or video. The user controls the scene by panning the image in a complete 360º circle or zooming in for a closer view. |
Apple Computer introduced 360 VR technology in 1997. Both Mac and Windows can view 360 VR using a standard web browser and the free QuickTime plug-in. Java helps those without QuickTime to still experience 360 VR Tours. |

Java must be installed on the computer and turned on in the browser settings or preferences. QuickTime is the preferred method for viewing 360 VR images. |
