The QuickTime VR Book : Creating Immersive Imaging on Your Desktop

Rating:
Summary: Lots of information, but lacking some key points.
Review: As someone who has struggled through many questions about the world of QTVR, I found this book to be informative, enlightening and reassuring. I learned some new techniques, confirmed current processes and got a handy tip or two, all in a casual, reliable and readable style. Kitchens has made creating, editing, packing and shipping QTVRs easier with this one-stop approach. For now (until someone like me writes one) this is the definitive book on QTVR. Well done!

Summary: Good start
Review: It is a comprehensive book for QuickTime VR. It can explains every details about QuickTime VR. From the paranomic movie to object movie, you can get what you need to know, such as the operation of these movies, and also fundamental things about QuickTime VR. This book also introduces some software for making these movies. However, you should not expect too much on this book will teach you how to use these software. Anyway, it is a good start for learning QuickTime VR.

Summary: A short and general introduction to the topic
Review: This book is nicely designed and has some interesting examples in it. It may be useful to those looking for some possible applications of QTVR, but the book is very light on the "how to" aspect of the software itself. If you're expecting in-depth coverage of Apple's QTVR Authoring Studio software, you will probably be disapointed. On the other hand, there are few (if any) other books available about QTVR, so in that regard, this book is worth having for what information it does provide.

Summary: waste of paper
Review: Way to general. I question if the person who wrote this book uses QTVR. I feel I was ripped. This was on backorder, I waited and now I have to go out and get another book to so I can acutal learn something. This is a great book if you have a table with one leg a half inch shorter then the rest. The fact that others gave this 5 stars makes me think the author has many friends and relatives.
