QTVR Panoramas - Development Process, cont'd

Planning for QTVR panoramas should address three key points:

1. Determine the user experience
2. Create detailed production specifications
3. Create a development plan and budget

   
   

   1) Determine The User Experience

   In the case of QTVR panoramas, the main aspects that will effect a user's experience are:

   • the amount of vertical tilting possible
   • the amount of horizontal panning possible
   • the amount of zooming into or out of the panorama that is desired
   • the actual view that they will have - i.e., the location of the single point of observation

   Determining the answers to these questions will allow you to create detailed specifications for each panorama.

   
   

   2) Create Detailed Production Specifications

   Once you have determined how you want users to interact with your panoramas, you can create detailed specifications for the panoramas themselves. Your specifications should address the following:

   • location or site plan
   • number of panoramas and their location on the site plan
   • method of capturing the source images, including the camera and lens, the height of the camera, and the lens orientation (landscape or portrait)
   • time of day (or night) for the image capture session
   • special considerations for the image capture, such as lighting details or special filters
   • number of shots captured around the pivot point for each panorama
