These Quicktime virtual reality panoramic images are a view into Taos like no other..., not quite. Want a real virtual reality tour of Taos? Here are some images made by Taos MultiMedia Studio a few years ago. On-line virtual reality (VR) panoramas require a special tripod attachment with dual leveling bubbles and 380 degree click-stop. A series of 18 photographs are made using a digital camera. These photographs are first processed in the computer as individual photographs. Then the photos ar uploaded into a special VR application that stitches the photos together using a 1/3 overlap on each side. The application then applies an edge distortion while outputting.
