QuickTime VR, an extension of QuickTime technology, allows users to interactively explore and examine photorealistic, three-dimensional virtual worlds. Unlike many other virtual reality systems, QuickTime VR does not require the user to wear goggles or gloves. Instead, the user navigates in a virtual world using standard input devices (such as the mouse or keyboard) to change the image displayed by the QuickTime VR movie controller. The images displayed in QuickTime VR movies can be either captured photographically or rendered on a computer using a three-dimensional (3D) graphics package.
