So, who/what's left for QTVR production then?

Trevor?

LiveStage was never really a QTVR production tool. Though it was handy for adding some programming logic and hotspots. Apple appears to be moving more towards having all interactivity handled by the host application though.

I personally use PTGui for QTVR production. Though still not the most user friendly UI it has given me the best and most consistent results. Stitcher is a much more visual tool but I could never get consistent results with it. Ian could probably comment on the available tools better than I could though as he does this for a living.

One really cool application I saw at Macworld was Hydra (the developers were in the booth next to us) which is used for combining multiple exposures of the same scene into an image that more closely resembles what the eye sees (HDR image). When you are combining photographs you sometimes need to tell the application where the photos overlap. All of the QTVR UIs I've used for telling the program where the photos overlap are pretty clunky. Hydra has a very smooth implementation.

You can see screenshots here: <http://creaceed.com/hydra/>. I only used it during the demo and haven't fired up my copy yet but I was amazed at how good the UI looked but also how functional it was.
