Re: panoramic photo for computer use

[cozy3 <jason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

there are a number of solutions out there.
i think you've heard of IPIX, not recommended.
there also is QTVR from apple computer. www.apple.com/ search for QTVR
Live Picture has a solution www.livepicture.com
Ulead is basically a rip off of live pictures.
smoothmove, but also not recommended.
plus others.

If you want to put it on cd-rom, QTVR would be your best option.
they have intergration with apple media tool, director, and Mtropolis.
the nice thing about cd is that you don't have to worry to much about the size of the resulting movie.
if you want to put it on the web, you will need to either cut out the zoom to be able to download quicker or use Live Picture Flash Pix technology. this by far is the best. the only problem is that It isn't the easiest. and Live Picture doesn't have a Cd-rom solution.

what sort of camera do you plan to use?
another question would be what sort of budget do you have, this could answer what software you will have to use.
