Navigation Styles in QuickTime VR Scenes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an empirical study on two different navigation styles within QuickTime VR panorama scenes. In one style, the users would jump from one position in the scene to the next while maintaining their direction of view. In the second style, the users would jump from one position to the next and reverse their direction of view. The results show that participants preferred the later style because it enabled them to more quickly return to their original positions.

In the first part of this paper, we describe a novel method of panoramic view rendering for real-time interactive applications trying to present a real-world like environment. The proposed method is different from the approach of QuickTime VR, in that the scene is rendered by generating a sphere-like polyhedral environment map from photo-realistic images and using the generated maps to render t...
