Yes, the beauty of QTVR can be demonstrated with fullscreens, that's
why high-end panos are mostly represented this way.
But some of my potential clients are on the edge of simple curiosity
and they have not so wide broadband, so to say. I can persuade them to
download 12 megs just to have a look at my panos, and after they are
hooked I can feed them with 2-3 megs panos easily, but 32 megs is too
much.
I would be happy to have a chance to use alternative viewer which
would use all VR functionality of QTVR (hotspots, protection against
unauthorised editing) having less than 10 megs size.
Glpanoview has some problems with color rendering, in the polar areas
in particular, it doesn't support compressed headers and hotspots.
Being switched in the fullscreen mode glpanoview makes my system to
forget about custom color profile loaded with adobe gamma loader
curve. It can't be used as alternative to QT, to my regreat.
