NEW DIMENSION OF 3D TECHNOLOGIESEveryone accustomed to a high level of art and sound design of Web pages a long time ago. Much higher speed connection to the Internet and new media formats, high-performance allowed to listen to the radio and watch TV channels via Internet. Virtual worlds in VRML web browsing also not yet surprise.And first encounter with interactive three-dimensional images can not remain indifferent. At the last minute interactive panoramic images such as photos, three-dimensional images of objects, etc.

are widely disseminated. This style of performance of graphics is actively used when selling real estate through the Internet, the presentation of new products in the automotive industry – the car demonstration of the branches, for the sale of the products through all possible, online shops, auctions and also in many other fields, including photojournalism. It 'easy to explain the reason for such popularity. Even those who once visited a 3D movie theater should remember how they felt. Nothing in common with painting instead of a flat picture – the illusion of depth and participation in what is happening.

A panoramic photo provokes the same feelings. Imagine that you can sit in a cockpit of the Space Shuttle, examine all the details of an industry self concept and a panorama of New York the Empire states building, roaming the halls of the greatest museums in the world. Or simply see a product you want to buy via the Internet. Is not a useful innovation? And if VRML allows to create three-dimensional scenes looking very artificial, here we are dealing with quality.One photo more interesting trends in the world of Internet technologies for three-dimensional images is to simplify the process of shooting pictures and further processing.

It has become possible due to essential development in the software industry and listed equipment simple and effective for the shooting. Now to create three-dimensional quality photos you can use a digital camera as usual and a minimum of additional equipment, for example, a tripod or a turntable. Algorithms modern digital image processing allow you to compensate for uneven illumination, incorrect camera settings and other difficulties. So virtually anyone can now create a 3D image of high quality and place in Internet.

Now there are several technologies for creating 3D images that are sufficiently developed and is supported by several companies who provide photos to 360 degrees on the market. For each of these technologies the software and hardware solutions are designed.The pioneer in this field is Apple Computer Corp., which has provided them with Quick Time VR. Their technology allows you to obtain a cylinder without an overview, with about 16 pictures, assemble them and thus getting a panoramic image. This process is called stitching.

They also produced a special utility that captures frame by frame from a video and digital cameras that are connected to the video on your computer, and then combines all the frames and outputs in special QTVR Object movie format. Internet Pictures Corp. (IPIX) uses an original approach, based on a special hardware solution. To take panoramic pictures of so-called technology photobubble is offered. This technology enables you to get a panoramic picture on two 180-degree picture presented by a wide angle lens like the eye of fish.

The resulting images can be viewed with iPIX plug-in. This plug-in allows you to rotate the scene to 360 degrees horizontally and 170 degrees vertically, you can scale from selected areas of the image, to connect the fragments of text, hyperlinks and sound files for the landscape areas. Unfortunately, the hardware-software solution offered by IPIX for making panoramas is expensive and is quite narrow, specialized due to specific equipment used to shooting.MGI PhotoVista Company produces software that is oriented to the needs of end users and small businesses .

PhotoVista lets you automatically stitch several shots taken from the usual point. No doubt the benefits of technology to render 3D images MGI is a possibility of use of the equipment used for photography to create panoramic images and also a Java applet for viewing, Pentax Digital Camera, panoramas on the web pages (plug-in Installation is not required). Perhaps the most complete range of equipment and software to make 3D photos and 3D views is offered by Anything Corp.

It comes complete line of turntables (from 7.5 to 39 manual motorized
