Best Java player for 360x180 panoramas



Hi Erik:
I have PTViewer displaying our cubic QTVR .mov files that we made in
Stitcher 3.5.  It works very well, IMO.  I just had to figure out the order
of the faces by trial and error, as I did with the cylinders, too.

Check here:

We decided to offer both the QTVR option and Java option because when we
went with Java only we had too many people telling us that their machine
wouldn't display the images, and I don't want to have to tell people how to
upgrade their OS or browser, so this way I can suggest they download QT
instead!  Don't want to go with QTVR only either because I think it will
limit the audience.  We use the same .mov for Java as for QTVR display.

Hope this helps.  BTW we only 'opened for business' on April 1st after 7
months of intensive self-training, and any comments on our work are
appreciated.
