Virtual Reality Panoramas and Scenes
Virtual reality technology has been a programmer tool for several decades. It enables a realistic view of an image that can zoom in and out as well as spin in a panoramic view.
These VR images do not require special glasses or software, other than Apple's Quicktime viewer. The Quicktime player is installed in most Macintosh and PC's and is also a free download from Apple.
For more than a decade, a unique software program from Apple warps a photo to give a virtual reality effect- almost a 3d like view of a scene or panorama.
Quicktime VR, has been discontinued with the advance of OSX. The original program only runs on OS9 or lower. But, after dusting off an older Mac, some great photographs have been turned into VR Scenes. More on virtual reality.

Similar to the experience movie goers get in 3D theaters, consumer gamers use S-3D technology at home for superior game immersion, visual beauty and game enjoyment. In video games, stereoscopic 3D hardware makes explosions fly out of the screen and adds a depth that makes the screen look like a window rather than a flat projection.
“Stereoscopic gaming is inevitable. It's not so much a question of added realism or emersion, terms that I find too nebulous to define. Stereoscopic 3D gaming is more fun - that's why it's here to stay," said Lenny Lipton, Chief Technology Officer of Real D, and the inventor of the original CrystalEyes Glasses that laid down the groundwork for many of the modern consumer 3D solutions available today.
