Flash Panoramas

Click on a graphic to open a new window with a full 360° Flash panorama.

 

Flash panoramas are made much like their QuickTime versions: stitch the component photographs together in PTGui to produce a large equirectangular file. With Pano2VR, I then turn the equirectangular file into an interactive Flash panorama. One ostensible weakness with Flash panoramas is that multinode panoramas are unlike those for QTVR, where all the nodes are lumped into one big file, and currently beyond my ability.
