QuickTime VR: an image-based approach to virtual environment navigation
Open accessAbstract
Traditionally, virtual reality systems use 3D computer graphics to model and render virtual environments in real-time.This approach usually requires laborious modeling and expensive special purpose rendering hardware.The rendering quality and scene complexity are often limited because of the real-time constraint.This paper presents a new approach which uses 360-degree cylindrical panoramic images to compose a virtual environment.The panoramic image is digitally warped on-the-fly to simulate camera panning and zooming.The panoramic images can be created with computer rendering, specialized panoramic cameras or by "stitching" together overlapping photographs taken with a regular camera.Walking in a space is currently accomplished by "hopping" to different panoramic points.The image-based approach has been used in the commercial product QuickTime VR, a virtual reality extension to Apple Computer's QuickTime digital multimedia framework.The paper describes the architecture, the file format, the authoring process and the interactive players of the VR system.In addition to panoramic viewing, the system includes viewing of an object from different directions and hit-testing through orientation-independent hot spots.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
