SoC 2008/PanoramaViewing

Google Summer of Code 2008

QuickTime VR (panorama) Viewing

My Commitment

I'm committed to work up to 40 hours per week for 3 months on this project

Plan

• figure out what needs to be done
  • how to modify VLC to detect QTVRs
  • what needs to change in VLC to display QTVRs
    • dionoea mentioned that image handling modifications are required
• get an understanding of the QTVR format (possible start: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/InsideQT_QTVR/6Chap/chapter_6_section_1.html and the FreePV code)
• see how much of the FreePV code can be used
• by now I should have a good idea of how things fit together
• write a bare-minimum QTVR viewer for VLC
• do some testing
• get feedback
• keep extending the basic functionality untill time runs out
