Images & Immersive Technologies

Images

The entire process of creating, processing and publishing photos involves a series of 4 phases, each of which involves a series of steps and processes documented in separate manuals. These manuals purport to form the basis for our training and reference with regard to images, however as a complete overhaul of Images is underway, these processes are being thoroughly revised, and much of the contents here no longer apply or will be superseded shortly.

2. Cataloging Images in MediaPro

Immersive Technologies

• QTVRs: for making panoramic 360 degrees images.
• VRMLs & X3D: for making three dimensional models.
