google street view/spriteormamas




well in all my years on the web this movie http://www.vrhotwires.com/InexpensivePanoramicVideo6.html

has got the most hits. Over 100,000 in the last year...
(you can go back through the weeks to see how it was done)

lately people write and ask about google streetview
http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/

and how my work relates to it.

well you'll notice that street view treats each frame as a still image
so loading is slow,

while I treat the 300 or so nodes as a video with frame differencing so
I get a smaller, animated file.

what would be cool is if, when you stopped and panned around,
a high res frame loaded from the server... don't know how that would work.


(easily if anyone at apple gave a damn. Now they're doing youtube after years
of slagging it because the quality was too low... I wonder if they're starting to get
that getting people creating is way more important than the quality of the early
creations...)



Anyways, osX broke my multi-cam app or I'd have one up for sale since I get
a request for a multi-vid app at least once a week. If you're interested in a $99 app
called 'qt-multivid' that lets you store multiple vid-feeds in a single user defineable frame
drop me a note... porting can't be too hard, I just got tired of walking sideways any more
with apple... had to go forwards...
