Quicktime VR Room of Doom!

[Goodwill Hunter]

Been playing around with Apple's Quicktime VR software recently. It knits 24 images taken 360 degrees around one point into a seamless virtual reality quicktime movie from that point of view. I did a test with just 4 images from my game room and the results were surprisingly good. Thought I'd share the results with everyone here. You need quicktime to view it (I think) and it is kind of large at over 700K.

I think I'll need to borrow a camera with a fisheye lens to do it 24 images right, as these images were taken from the opposite side of the room...the room is only about 10' x 12'. Pointless fun...or as my wife says, "Now you can see how badly you need to clean your desk in 3-D!"

Pretty cool. Makes your room look like it's a big circle. 8-)

That's pretty frickin' neat! I should do something like that for my basement o' entertainment. First I need to post some more pics on an offsite location though.

That's what cheating with only 4 images does...with 24 it will look more like a regular, square-cornered room.
