Like Quicktime VR but for Video

DateAugust 3, 2009

I still remember seeing Apple's immersive Quicktime VR technology for the first time in the mid ninties at MacWorld Boston. I stood in front of the display for an inordinately long time, mezmerized by the demos, using the mouse to navigate in 180 or 360 degrees of a still image. Very cool stuff.

Now, Yellowbird, a start-up in the Netherlands, is taking things to the next dimension. Here's a demo embedded below. I cannot wait to play with some more of this. I'd love to think that this is the future of storytelling but I thought that about Quicktime VR too and that really hasn't happened yet. Anyhoo, check it out.
