Hi
The Immervision java applet gives a good full screen display. It works
well locally, and is good for presentations from a cd. I think this
proves java can do it. It does not seem to perform as comfortably, at
the moment, as a download solution, ie when you present panos on the
internet a viewer seems to have to wait relatively long for it to
compltete. I do like it though and I'm sure it has a future. It's just
this issue that something has to be present on a viewers computer that
is, for me anyway, the main hurdle.
