FreePV

FreePV was designed to be a powerful and truly cross platform viewer for panoramic images, both on your harddrive and inside web pages.

Here are some key features of "FreePV":

￭ Hardware accelerated rendering for smooth viewing experience, based on OpenGL ￭ Display of cubic and cylindrical panoramas (raw image files) ￭ Good support for QTVR panorama files (including more exotic features such as compressed headers) ￭ Standalone and Mozilla/Firefox plugin available ￭ Unix plugin registers for quicktime files, and plays panoramas on pages designed for Quicktime, PangeaVR and GLPanoView plugins.

Limitations:

￭ Rendering of the windows mozilla plugin is not very smooth (will be improved soon) ￭ Equirectangular panorams not yet supported ￭ Display of cylindrical panorams currently of low quality (will be improved soon) ￭ Hotspots and multi node QTVR files not supported ￭ No scripting support
