QTVR Overview - Scenes

OverviewSceneIcon

QTVR scenes are a collection of one or more QTVR panoramas and/or object movies linked together via a set of hot spots. In QTVR scenes, users can navigate from panorama to panorama, panorama to object, object to panorama, or object to object as they move about in the scene. The navigation between QTVR panoramas and/or objects is via the use of hot spots which are associated to a target QTVR panorama or object. The orientation and position of the link's target is defined as part of the scene building process.

Each panorama and object in the scene is referred to as a node. Each scene has one entry node which provides the default view when the scene is opened.

Once created, QTVR scenes are saved as a self-contained file. They can play back as stand alone files on either a Macintosh or Windows machine using the MoviePlayer application (provided, of course, that the platform has the QuickTime extension installed), or directly on-line in a World Wide Web page if using the correct QuickTime plug-in with an internet browser.

If, however, the scene includes panoramas or objects which contain links to other types of media, such as graphics, text, videos, or sounds, then the scene must be incorporated into a multimedia authoring environment, such as Macromedia Director, to manipulate these other media components.
