This is not a normal reaction on a Mac or PC. Did you navigate up and down
and zoom in and out? It is amazing. When in the 3rd one, did you hear the
music in the background? They support background music and voice overlay.
Some are the realtors in NY are using this tech. called IPIX-TV to show and
"describe" by voice their properties on line as they walk the client
through the different rooms of the house.

YES even easier with IPIX. The photos require ONLY TWO shots back to back
with a fisheye lens, the software seams them together - NOT 24. There are
film camera solutions and newer digital camera solutions - Kodak, Olympus,
Nikon. Due to lens issues and film issues, the Film solution takes more
time, but produces greater quality. There is an IPIX plugin for PhotoShop
for superior touch-up.
The digital solution is almost automatic. I have been playing with it the
last two weeks. You feed the 2 images to the IPIX wizard and out pops a
finished bubble.
Check out the www.ipix.com site it speaks for itself.
One more thing, only IPIX can claim 360 views. It was decided in an
out-of-court settlement with Live Pictures last summer. Another
competitor, Infinite Pictures, was taken to court for patent infringement
IPIX won with a $1,000,000 dollar settlement in their favor. It all on the
site in the Press Release section.
