Panorama

A very cool software to make quicktime panorama files (QTVR): www.panoramafactory.com.
There is a shareware version that will work for 30 days on their website. It has all the features but it will add a watermark on your stuff until you buy it which I think I am going to do. I have made a quick test using with 16 pictures of my living-room. This thing is amazingly efficient, just take the pictures and it does the rest. Here is the result: (if you are not familiar with this kind of stuff, click on the picture and move your mouse at the same time)

You can also had "hotspots". Move the mouse on the TV or the fridge, it should write TV and fridge on the status bar...
It is supposely much more difficult to make a good panorama indoors than outdoors, actually the closer what you take a picture of is, the more difficult it is. But still, this one does not look bad and i did not even use a tripod. Can't wait this week-end, gonna try to make some of desert or mountain landscapes.

Another usefull site about QTVR: www.outsidethelines.com
the only problem with quicktime is I really wonder what is Apple waiting for to make a linux version of Quicktime??
