Panoramas

[Andrew Moiseev]

What is the best/cheapest viewer for panoramas?

Which is the best format to render the panoramas?

Thank you

[Kevin Lockwood]

Since we left "Smooth move" in the dust, there aren't many options any more.  There are several online host for the panoramas.

• http://www.clevr.com/
•  http://www.dermandar.com/
• https://www.360cities.net/

are 3 that I've tested. I think they take most formats, but jpg seems to work fine.

For stand-alone, You can try MOV or QTVR.  There are a few free options.  Most are paid.

http://ggnome.com/ has a coupe of paid options plus if you search around, you might find the "droplet" pan2qtvr tool. 

I haven't tried any of the paid  software. I just cant justify the purchase for the occasional request.

I use imove-viewer.

The program is only 1Mb in size and runs as an exe file without any installation.

You can run it off a USB stick or even autorun it from a CD.
