Virtual tour maker software

[ticker]

The ICT Co-ordinator has just come to me asking if I can found out about the above software, that will do virtual tours for part of a multimedia project for DIDA the students are doing next term, and was just wondering if anyone here has bought, using or knows of any software products out their. Did a search on Google and didn’t come back with much.

I use Arcsoft Panorama Maker and haven't had much trouble with it. Its quite difficult to take the pictures but the software allows you to match points in the image to make the panorama smoother. Usually it does it perfectly for you.

It outputs to Flash and Quicktime, the Flash file is about a 10th of the quicktime one but hasn't the control of quicktime.

 

Sorry can't help you with the cost as I got it bundled free with a HP camera that I got free when I bought a HP printer a couple of years ago.

I have used this in the past to create 360 VRs of locations.

The new version seem to support the creation of full virtual tours.

 

And look here at the apple site for more info on their stuff.
