I may have been one of the presenters you saw at that meeting - we had a
light balloon and did Panos of the audience live as well as an object movie
of someone's head "bobbing"... it was fun...

I've been using QTVRAS since it first came out (actually, before then in
various beta stages) - and still use it.  It's fairly simple, but is in bad
need of an update... (typical Apple software).

I got VR-Worx some months ago, but it didn't seem very intuitive and
couldn't find my way around doing some of the simplest things without
digging into a manual or doing some deep searching.  Gave up and went back
to QTVRAS just to get the job done.

Don't know if this has been of any help but, FWIW - I've heard great things
of what VR-Worx can do... it's just not a "pick it up and fly with it" type
of app.

Best, 

Jeff
