Regarding the Hand Held device yes they will be walking through the building
using it as a guide. I don't know how likely it is that we can do this, I
can think of problems that might come up. Like the navigation of the image
for example - using fiddly controls on a PDA might not be practical for some
people or if a stilus is used then this is easely lost. We might end up
just using still images for this, but it would be great to try using the VR
images.

Subject: Re: Virtual Tour with Audio on a Hand Held device
hi Pete,
for static computers, it's not much different than for what you do on
the web. the key here is to get a bomb-proof kiosk device and put a
self-contained system on a CD-ROM that only lets you do so much. Linux +
Flashpanoramas.com is IMO the easiest way to go.
For the hand held device, I am not sure I understand the need. what will
it be used for? are people going to walk through the building using it
as a guide?
best regards
Yuv
