Viewing QTVR is awesome and CubicNavigator makes it doubley awesome by taking it to the next level - ultra smooth panning. What a treat to look at all the beautiful VR's the developer has bookmarked for us. Bookmark your own favorites!
This is a real gem and the developer is very responsive and proactive. Try it (even if you think you don't need it) and see for yourself what fun this is.
And yes, if you make 360 vr's this is a must have for testing your equirectangular images prior to assembling.

Workflow Enhancer - Version: 1.0.3, 2/24/2005 02:10PM PST

Apart from the incredible OpenGL'ed browser aspects of CubicNavigator, it serves a purpose in the standard VR panorama workflow. Flattened equirectangular images can be drag/dropped to preview as a fullscreen cubic QTVR before committing to final edits and conversion to cube faces (see the developer's CubicConverter app). It also opens up for smooth viewing of truly high resolution VR panoramas. The budding integration with tours produced by CubicConnector, another one of the developer's apps, looks very promising for big wow-factor presentations. The 3D tilting of the map and the angle-of-view cones, all canned effects, already appear impressive. I am frankly amazed at how this small(?) Australian developer showed Apple how VR can be done. Respect. The $20 price redefines the term "bargain."
Download it and take it for a spin ... - Version: 1.0.2, 2/14/2005 03:40PM PST

The best QTVR viewer - Version: 1.0.2, 2/14/2005 03:37PM PST

This viewer is the fare best of all VR viewers around. With OpenGL you can navigate the panorama as never before seen. It is so smooth and it field like it doesnt take any power of you mac. Well it does take some power of your mac. It will not run on Mac´s with less then 32 MB of VRAM. I am using it on my iMac G5 20" and it can not preform better then this. I just have to say that if you are into traveling and like to see new locations around the world you should start of with this application
1.0.1 fixes most of what was ailing...

After just 24 hours, the 1.0.1 release has fixed most of the problems the previous reviewer noted, and it improved recording performance!
Just to recap, this little app (for only $20) is a VR (and HTML) broswer, which finds, bookmarks, and caches the most prevalent types of VRs out there (QTVR, JavaVR, SpiV shockwave) and can convert them into "Extreme VR" OpenGL, screen-filling presentations that move effortlessly on any computer with more than 16 Mb video RAM and 10.3.6. You can also easily record and save your own "virtual tours" through single or multinode VRs, and play back multiple VRs in an iPhoto-like slideshow (using your iTunes library for music!).
In short, even if you don't create your own VR photographs, you can use this program to find, sort, and display them in a way that almost redefines what we expect from a photographic VR. True 3D maps and floating labels and very configurable preferences just sweeten the pot.
The only things missing are soft fades between VRs in the slideshows and exportable recordings (with the VR data) to make screensavers and kiosk tours. However, for $20 it can't be beat as a great introduction to VR or a display method for seasoned QTVR people.
If you can't spare $20 right now, use the demo mode and surf the hundreds of already bookmarked, and professionally produced VRs from around the world. You can rediscover the QTVR artform without using Google or even your web browser!
Excellent app, and 1.0.1 fixed the few initial complaints before they got very far.

Not bad for a 1.0 release - Version: 1.0.1, 1/27/2005 04:34AM PST

... it works OK most of the time (some glitches with the OpenGL cursor, and other minor troubles), but needs *HELP* for the translations (e.g. as of Version 1.0, the german texts are extremely funny, but garbled to the point of being incomprehensible (think "babelfish to the power of 3" ;)
But it's the best solution for viewing large collections of panoramic pictures fast...

I'm trying to create a virtual reality enviornment for the Mac for my clients. I'm a speech coach, I work with clients to learn how to control the fear of speaking. I'd like to create a VR experience for them, presenting in front of a group. My firm had created this solution in 1995 on a PC. but that developer is loooong gone, way before I joined the company. Anyone know of a mac solution for this?
thanks
