Product Description:

Pangea VR is a FREE web browser plug-in for Mac OS X that allows you to view Quicktime VR panoramas with unprecendented quality and speed.
You can view full-screen panoramas at frame rates typically in the 150 to 350 fps range!
PangeaVR has no Java memory limitation, therefore, full-resolution panoramas can be viewed.
Modern, slick, user interface.
PangeaVR does not override Quicktime as the default player for .mov files. Web pages must have HTML code specifically written to use PangeaVR.
PangeaVR is not available for Windows. It is currently only available for Mac OS X, and it is compatible with Safari, Netscape, and Mozilla. It is not compatible with Internet Explorer.
PangeaVR is not a replacement for the Quicktime viewer or Java viewers such as PTViewer, G2, etc. It is simply meant as an additional option for web pages to give to visitors - a very cool option at that!

Slower but better quality - Version: 3.0.1, 11/23/2006 10:00AM PST

I use iMac Intel 2GHz, VRAM 128 MB, Memory 1GB, OS X 10.4.8 and QT 7.1.3. I set the Hardware Texture Compression in the PangeaVR Preferences to "never" as required. Pangea took twice the time to load but the image quality when panning was much smoother and sharper than QT.

In summary: Great app - Version: 2.1, 6/23/2005 08:01PM PST

Brian showed us how QTVRs *should* look. Panning is very smooth and depending on the amount of available RAM on your video card, sharp. Kudos to Brian.

A lot of tools ... - Version: 2.1, 4/18/2005 04:28AM PST

There is a lot of tools for MacOS X to make great panoramas.
PTMac 3 for stitching is like a standard tool for stitching these days.
Cubic Converter 2 is a great way assemble cubic panoramas.

.. and QTVR panoramas is NOT out of discussions.
QTVR content just requires more knowledge to make the
full screen, high quality output people want to see.

It is probably taken from the easy creation level,
where all people can make them,
to the high level pro creation.
