As I remember, QTVR was first shown at the Apple Developers Conference in early summer of 1995. They made the original software available in August (?). I ordered it immediately, and made my first VR panorama on August 27, 1995.


Actually it was first shown in June 1994
Here is a linklist with what I have been able to find online

Apple's QuickTime VR, unveiled in June 1994, gained national attention when NBC News adapted it to create panoramas of crime scenes during the murder trial of O. J. Simpson. Simon & Schuster's CD-ROM, titled Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual, was the first retail product to use QuickTime VR. Released in November, the Star Trek CD-ROM (see "Books and CD-ROMs: Star Trek Meets QuickTime VR ," March BYTE) quickly sold more than 200,000 cop ies. http://www.byte.com/art/9505/sec9/art2.htm

Digital World ’94 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in June, Digital Demo Day http://www.seyboldreports.com/SRDP/0dp8/D0811008.HTM
