Practice announces QuickMotion 2.0 with QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR)
playback. QuickMotion 2.0 is a major upgrade to the award-winning
QuickMotion product for playing QuickTime movies natively under OS/2 Warp.
With QuickMotion 2.0, you can view real-life objects captured in the
interactive QTVR format, by far the most widely used VR format on the web.
You can also interact with single and multi-node panoramas, which are
complete 360-degree views constructed from real photographs, 3D renderings,
or any other source. Zoom in and discover more detail. Click on a hot spot
to link to another location in the scene or to another web site.
Virtual Reality content can be navigated inside Netscape using the
QuickFlick plugin, or stored locally and brought up on your desktop using
the QuickFlick stand-alone application.
QuickMotion is not just a clone of the QTVR players for other platforms. It
was designed just for OS/2. Many of these features are ONLY available to
OS/2 QuickMotion users, and not to users of the shipping Windows plugin:
- Both "grab" and "spin" controllers are always available
- Continuous zoom using right mouse button
- Start navigating a multi-node panorama before it's done downloading
- All codecs supported (eg most Windows plugins do not support JPEG)
- Hands-free operation with auto-spin at any speed
- Fully accurate correction all the time (no cheating for speed)
- Pentium-optimized renderer
- Save frames in all popular formats
- Quick copy frame for export
- Precise rotation +/- 90/180=BA
- Keyboard commands don't require mouse to be over window
- Movie windows are children of the desktop (no lame MDI interface)
- Custom WPS class for QuickTime Movies means you can view QTVR with a
double-click
QuickMotion 2.0 is currently available for on-line purchase at our web site.
The full version is $34.95. Registered users of QuickMotion 1.x can upgrade
for $19.95.
