Re: Immervisions' PURE player is now available for Pocket PC

If I understand, that not playing a natif QTVR but something who are modified by the soft on computer before loading in the cell ?

Correct, that isn't in fact a QuickTime VR .mov file at all, it is a panorama prepared for use with Immervision's Java-based panorama player engine, the 'PURE Tools' suite.
That software can take a stitched image in various forms or a ready-made QTVR file and make its own panorama files from that. Using existing QTVRs is probably not ideal as that may involve a second round of JPEG compression, but it is convenient when that's what's available.



Your cell look verry large what is the model please ?

It is large - ridiculously large for a phone, but a superb size for a PDA. It is the HTC Athena (also known as the HTC Advantage), but rebranded as the T-Mobile Ameo.


As well as the 640x480 touch screen it has an 8GB microdrive, so it is almost tailor-made for pano display. But beware: it is a speakerphone, not something you hold to your ear. For phone calls you talk *to* it or use an additional wired or bluetooth headset. If you use your mobile phone a lot this could be awkward. For me, it is odd but survivable - especially considering the non-phone features and now the panorama playback.
