What good is PanaView?

• Create a "virtual tour" of your city, park or yard.
• Create a "3D walkthrough" of your house or rental propery.
• 360 degree displays of your school, library or museum.
• Make a 360 degree "link" page for your homepage - PanaView supports "HotSpot" URLs that hold descriptions and (optionally) links to other pages!

Advantages of PanaView

• Created entirely in Java - NO plugins and NO installation required for most major browsers
• Reads standard .jpg and .gif files - use your choice of image "stitching" software to create the panaoramic images.
• FAST - executes EXTREMELY QUICKLY on JIT-enabled browsers
• SMALL - Applet is only 5k (two .class files)

How to get it

• You MUST email me at the above address and provide me with a URL to which I can create a link on my example page.
• You MUST put a link back to the PanaView Home Page http://www.xenolinguistics.com/java/pana
• That's not too hard, eh?

Installation
