QuickTime VR for Windows -- QuickTime VR enhances the
original QuickTime movie player for windows by giving users
access to interactive 3D videos. In effect, QuickTime VR makes
possible navigable movies -- you can look up and down, turn
around, zoom in and zoom out, click and drag, and much more, all
from within the QuickTime interface. QuickTime VR adds
functionality to the original player on two dimensions -- first it
allows for scenes, or virtual reality spaces, which are
non-interactive 3-Dimensional movies that give added depth to
scenes like panoramic mountain-top vistas and architectural
blueprints. QuickTime VR also adds the capability for objects,
which are interactive videos that allow you to examine, move, pick
up, and make use of objects like books, art, and much more. For
some QuickTime VR samples, be sure to check out Apple's
extensive QuickTime VR site.

QuickTime player
