Abstract

This paper introduces a framework for the creation, management and deployment of interactive virtual tours. A panoramic image acquisition unit is adapted to acquire panoramic images and video streams from a wide variety of sources. The acquired panoramic images and video streams are fed into a transform engine that performs any required transformations on the input data in a uniform and seamless manner. A package generator coupled with the transform engine synthesizes complete virtual tour packages by combining the transformed data with a broad range of multimedia resources to create navigable virtual tours. Perspective correction and related transformations on the data are carried out by a viewing engine allowing a plurality of viewers to independently and simultaneously interact with the virtual tours. User interaction with the virtual tour packages is enhanced by a control engine that facilitates bi-directional communication between various elements of the system.
