QuickTime VR

A third type of graphics that you might see is called Quicktime VR, and is an Apple Technology that works on both Macintosh and Windows. QuickTime VR displays only static images, but offers one of two enhancements. Quicktime VR files can show an object and let you rotate around it in three dimensions, looking at it from every side, or they can display a scenes around you, allowing you to look around in every direction. Essentially, the first type of Quicktime VR graphic lets you walk around an object, whereas the second type lets you stand in a single place and turn around in a circle to see everything.

Quitcktime VR graphics require additional software to display, but you can download the free player from the Apple's web site at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/win.html
