VRP is abbreviation for Virtual Reality Panorama. As you most probably know there is a lot of confusion how to name "Virtual Reality Panorama". It seems that in English panorama is 360° image (photography, drawing, DMR ...), flat indeed. As an example in my language (Slovenian) panorama is every wide angle image which presents landscape - it can not be panorama of the room, cave, ... sounds so funny in my language, I suppose it is same with German as the language logic-gramar are very similar. The projection procedure makes panorama (which is a "print" media a "Virtual Reality Panorama" which is displayed on the screen. Indeed VRP is not 3D. When I started with panography I needed to get a name in my native language for that new media and I started with "surround photography" (if translated literally to English) if the base was panoramic photo or surround image if the base was drawing, painting or DMR.
I wrote some academic papers last decade of the use of VRP when documenting geography, mostly documenting caves and I needed to be specific what is a difference between flat panorama for printing and what is the "immersive version", that is Virtual Reality Panorama or VRP. I sometimes use not full (partial) 360° panoramas for a base to transform into VRPs so I prefer use of Virtual Reality Panorama. As it seems that VRP is obsolete term as there is not real much of "virtual reality" - only kind of effect, I am starting to use the literally translation from Slovene to English which is "Surround Photography" and to be more clear add 360° (when the base for the projection was 360° panroama): http://www.zivljenjenadotik.si/en/projects/surround-photography/

Google is also providing a Virtual walkthrough like option. Google streetview is even enhanced where you can put and link your business with your virtual tours. It is same thing like our Virtual Reality Panoramas. Differences are it is linked with Google map coordinates & there are linked panoramas of place (room, lobby, boutique) after approx every 5-10 feet distance which creates a virtual walkthrough like experience.
Bostjan, is there anything new related to VRP???
