@jalefkowit The small media design place I worked for in Germany had one of the first developer licenses for QuickTime VR and Macromedia Director. When we got all that stuff shipped from Silicon Valley it was approximately 20 pounds of documentation and a dozen CD ROMs. 😂
But making those interactive panoramas in Director with QTVR was a lot of fun! The code was hairy as hell, but every time we showed it to clients it blew their minds.
@jalefkowit ah yes the skybox. This was before slippy maps were even discovered
If you weren’t around for QuickTime VR, it looked like this, which is to say that while it was novel at the time it was extremely generous to call it “VR”
