These downloadable demos of Warp's VTV technology allow you to smoothly control your viewpoint orientation inside a single still image, or within a software-decompressed video sequence as the video plays.

The VTV Win95 viewer (189k) is a 32 bit Windows executable. Use of a 16bpp color mode for Windows is recommended if you have a fast machine and good PCI VGA card, otherwise use 8bpp. [Although designed for Win95, the demo will work under Windows 3.1, if you download and install Win32s (1219k)]

A variety of files for use with the VTV Win95 viewer can be downloaded from here.

The VTV viewer can also play any Cinepak compressed QTVR panoramic movie. A number of QTVR .MOV files can be downloaded from here.

If you want to see what your own computer graphics looks like in VTV, you can download free (unsupported) VTV conversion tools (176k).

The VTV Video demo (3719k) lets you look around within moving video, as the video plays. The demo uses VTV together with the "Media Control Interface" API for Microsoft Video for Windows to decompress an AVI file, while simultaneously using VTV dewarping to control view orientation.

You must set the display mode for Windows to 16 bits per pixel (65536 colors). MCIVIDEO.EXE is a 32 bit Windows executable. Win95 is recommended. For adequate performance with this demo, you should use a Pentium machine with a PCI VGA card with a decent Win95 display driver. Data rate for the AVI file is 300 kb/sec. Your secondary storage device must be able to support this transfer rate.

The VTV Headmounted Display demo (4719k) lets you use VTV with the "i-glasses!" headmounted display from Virtual I/O Inc.. At you orient your head to look around, the demo reads the i-glasses! headtracker and controls the dewarping to show you the appropriate portion of the scene. High res source images are displayed using Mode X (320x200 8 bit) graphics so that the demo will run on a PC with any VGA card. Due to the high resolution used for source images, this demo requires you PC to have more than 8M of memory. Source imagery is courtesy of Steve Speer.

The VTV DOS demo (1407k) uses Mode X (320x200 8 bit) graphics so that the demo will run on a PC with any VGA card. Very low res source imagery (640x480) is used so that the demo will fit on a single floppy. Both a pre-rendered computer graphics sphere and two real-world images are included with this demo. Note that you must use the -d flag when unzipping this file. THIS DEMO IS OBSOLETE, AND RECOMMENDED ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT YET RUNNING WINDOWS.

The VTV SGI demo (860k) is a very simple pan/tilt/roll demo, with high res source imagery. It is compiled to require an R4000 or newer processor.

It is easy to use the free VTV Win95 viewer (189k) as a helper application with Netscape to let you look around within images on the Web. If you are running Win95, check out the home page for the Kingdom of Tonga.

The VTV Webcam lets you use VTV to warp an (almost) live video signal from a wide angle camera, to be able to look around the computer room in Warp's Sausalito computer room.
