QTVR is a variant of the widely adopted Apple QuickTime technology. The hot spots can also engage with rotatable objects in the panorama. If required, QTVRs can be made to very high resolutions. The original photographic image is produced by seamlessly 'stitching' together a number of 35mm images, which can result in the equivalent of a very high quality large format negative. This allows zoomed exploration of the panorama in considerable detail.
Visual images present special problems.
Meme Interactive has developed a range of visual database solutions using the FileMaker Pro program. These flexible solutions allow the cross-referencing of text and numerical data with still images, video clips and QTVR items. The Meme Demo CD demonstrates some of these solutions. These databases can be distributed in a relatively secure self-contained form for either Mac or Windows platforms and which does not require the recipient to have any additional software. Meme Interactive Media has also produced special FileMaker solutions for a number of media-related tasks, including financial and production management.
