I have been wanting to try my hand at full screen QTVR for the last few months and have slowly been amassing the skills and equipment necessary for it. I think that it is still quite a specialist field as it is quite hard to get together all the information. I don’t think I have ever had to spend so much time searching for things on the internet. There is a huge amount of information available, but so little is of good quality.
The work that inspired me was a virtual tour of the wonderful Chateau Chenonceau. When I have made something that good I will be happy. My first attempts are not so polished.
I started with my living room which you can see here, and then worked on a group of photographs I took in March on Kala Patthar during our Everest Base Camp Trek with the kids. I am quite pleased with the results to far. Now I need to work out how to optimize them to bring the file size down a bit. They load at a reasonable rate, even on my hopeless internet connection in Saudi, but it still could be better.
I’ve just managed to buy a 16mm fisheye lens from the States, and so when that arrives, I think I am going to try to do a 360 degree tour of Al Khobar and Dammam. I wonder how long that will stay on the web before the Saudi authorities block it?
