What is Panoscreen?

Panoscreen is a interactive 360 degree screen
Also called VR Photography
They are presented in Fullscreen and you need Quicktime.

What is VR Photography?

A VR Photo sometimes called Immersive Photography, can be defined as a panoramic image (larger than 180 degree horisontal) displayed in a viewer which let you interactively pan around and look at it in different directions. The image should also change perspective so that you actually get the feeling of looking around. Panoramic viewers which just scrolls the panoramic image are not in my opinion VR Photography.
However this is of course difficult to define as the panoramic image in both viewers could be the same.
This also means that panoramic images made 100 years ago can be converted to a VR Photo just by showing it in a viewer.
You can even take a painted panorama and show it in a QTVR movie or a Java viewer and it will give you an almost correct perspective change.
