quicktime file format open format no quicktime vr also known as qtvr is an image file format developed by apple inc for quicktime and discontinued along with quicktime 7 it allows the creation and viewing of vr photography photographically captured panoramas and the viewing of objects photographed from multiple angles it functions as plugins for the quicktime player and for the quicktime web browser plugin history edit quicktime vr was conceived in 1991 by programmers eric chen and ian small of the human interface group in the advanced technology group at apple utilizing a cray supercomputer to process images into panoramas it was soon made prominent within the company by apple s board member and former astronaut sally ride who was fascinated by the demonstrated possibilities of 3d computer imagery 2 the first way i did panoramic photography was a little bit of a cheat so what you do is you take a million pictures and you animate between them i did all this with a single camera because imagining the matrix of cameras we now use was just too expensive it was extremely onerous the stitching and all of that it was quite a lot of work the head mounted vr did exist at that time so it was a poor man s vr calling it vr was controversial and somewhat presumptuous dan o sullivan early quicktime vr engineer 2 it was publicly launched in 1995 as part of quicktime 2 by a dedicated group including chen small senior content engineer ted casey and program manager eric zarakov 3 99 apple sold the content authoring tools for us 2 000 equivalent to 4 200 in 2025 plus a 0 40 0 80 royalty fee per commercial cd rom disc depending on the number of quicktime vr movies or no royalty charge for non commercial usage 3 100 upon launch it was a supporting technology in digital publications such as the star trek the next generation interactive technical manual 2 3 100 the first high profile public application of quicktime vr is the 1995 courtroom visualization of the crime scenes in the o j simpson murder case 4 the platform was deemphasized upon the return of steve jobs to apple in 1997 2 the discontinuation of quicktime 7 in the late 2000s brought the end of development and support of quicktime vr and other major technologies overview edit panoramas edit panoramas are panoramic images which surround the viewer with an environment inside looking out yielding a sense of place they can be stitched together from several normal photographs or 2 images taken with a circular fisheye lens or captured with specialized panoramic cameras or rendered from 3d modeled scenes there are two types of panoramas single row panoramas with a single horizontal row of photographs multi row panoramas with several rows of photographs taken at different tilt angles panoramas are further divided into those that include the top and bottom called cubic or spherical panoramas and those that do not usually called cylindrical this cylindrical panorama was shot with a nikon coolpix 5000 and stitched with apple inc s quicktime authoring studio a single panorama or node is captured from a single point in space several nodes and object movies can be linked together to allow a viewer to move from one location to another such multinode quicktime vr movies are called scenes apple s quicktime vr file format has two representations for panoramic nodes cylindrical consisting of one 360 image wrapped around the viewer cubic consisting of a cube of six 90 90 images surrounding the viewer each of these are typically subdivided or tiled into several smaller images and stored in a special kind of quicktime movie file which requires the quicktime plugin hot spots can be embedded into the panorama which when selected can invoke some action for example moving to another panorama node this cylindrical panorama was shot with a canon digital rebel xt objects edit in contrast to panoramas which are captured from one location looking out at various angles objects are captured from many locations pointing in toward the same central object the simplest type of objects to capture are single row typically captured around the equator of an object this is normally facilitated by a rotating turntable the object is placed on the turntable and photographed at equal angular increments usually 10 from a camera mounted on a tripod capturing a multi row object movie requires a more elaborate setup for capturing images because the camera must be tilted above and below the equator of the object at several tilt angles reception edit in 1995 macworld cited some pioneering multimedia developers with a shared viewpoint fanatically in favor of quicktime vr technology but against apple s 0 40 0 80 royalty fee per commercial cd rom unit plus 2 000 equivalent to 4 200 in 2025 fee for authoring tools and some halting their existing efforts in protest the magazine s exhaustive overview concluded with this quicktime vr is an impressive achievement that reinforces apple s role as the innovator in personal computer multimedia but apple s zeal to turn quicktime vr into a profit center may slow its initial adoption and perhaps even relegate it to the backseat of microsoft s limousine as this issue went to press apple was reconsidering its requirement that developers pay royalties on titles that incorporate quicktime vr as well it should 3 108 legacy edit in 2016 business insider reflected on the long term impact of quicktime vr it s difficult not to read about apple s experiments with panoramic images and not draw a connection to the recent rise of 360 degree videos on platforms like facebook and youtube or even the immersive aspects of services like google maps street view much of what s called vr these days isn t a full interactive environment but is instead a descendant of the panoramic images that apple pioneered see also edit free viewpoint television virtual tour photosynth references edit
