It's still in its infancy but is promising. You can see flash sphericals
if you select the flash drop-down choice at <http://br.xenaura.com/test.php>
Make them:
* full sphericals: <http://www.pano2qtvr.com/> (requires Flash 8 or newer)
* cylindricals: <http://www.flashvr.de/> (requires Flash 6 or newer)
there are other tools as well, but I have experience of these two only.
Facts about them:
* distortion is inevitable. No tool in Flash is known to me that offers
the same quality of perspective correction as provided by QuickTime or
Shockwave.
* things can get choppy with low FPS.
* at the moment less than 20% of Flash users have Flash>8 - it will
still take some time until most users upgrade from the Flash 6 that
comes standard with Windows / IE
Conclusion:
While VR in Flash are a promising development, at the moment I would
only consider them as a fall-back solution.
