| QuickTime or Java?
QuickTime
To view QuickTime VR (or QTVR) you need the QuickTime Plug-In, Apple’s
FREE cross platform multi media player. QuickTime is one of the most
popular multimedia technologies and in addition being able to view
QuickTime VR panoramas, it enables you to view numerous types of digital
media for both Macintosh and PC.
QuickTime comes pre-installed on all Macintosh computers. PC users can
easily download and install QuickTime from the Apple website.

QuickTime offers slightly better image quality over java and we believe
the download is well worth while.
Java
As an alternative to QuickTime VR we also offer 360º Java panoramas,
primarily for PC users who do not want to install QuickTime. The advantage
of Java is that the majority of web browsers have built-in java support so
you do not need to download any further software.
The functionality of the two systems is very much the same, as is the way
the 360º panoramas are viewed by the user.
Please note: Some version of
Windows XP come without Java pre installed. You can download the latest
version HERE. |
