QTVR stands for Quick Time Virtual Reality, and it is a type of image file format supported by Apple's QuickTime. It enables the designer to create a virtual world using panorama images for the viewer/customer, at which they are able to discover more then looking at a standard panoramic photo.
With taking the pictures for QVTR's the creator is able to use any sort of camera, however it would be easier to use a digital camera as you are able to look back and take other photos if needed. Moreover, another useful thing is to use a fisheye lens with a specialised camera, for example a Canon or Nikon, this allows for the creator to take less photos because a fisheye lens is a wide-angled lens, and you are able to take an ultra-wide photo.
QTVR can be compared to the human eye. The human eye initially is taking a series of photographic images and stitching them together to create the vision at which we see every single day. (I heard this fact from a television programme that was broadcast on BBC One at 19:30 on Monday 28th September, this programme was called Bang Goes The Theory.)
