OK, so by popular demand spinControl:VR now has 3 flavors to choose from!

* Linguist (dynamic color, fade-in text, 9 languages; uses Flash internally)
* Harmony (simple black-and-white delivery, plays nicely with with QT 7.1.3)
* DIY (like Harmony, but colors are custom)

Read all about it at the spinControl:VR site..., where there are free downloads and example HTML/JavaScript files too!

Enjoy!

There are many new things in the works for spinControl:VR and spinControl:Linguist, some of which I'll outline below, but first and foremost...

Microsoft/ActiveX workarounds
If you aren't using a Javascript embedding technique for your QTVR and QuickTime media, you should be.

See update at end of post...

I've had several inquiries recently into Web site/page validation (a la the W3C online validator) in general, and the spinControl:VR QTVR controller specifically.

Sadly, the arbitrary set of parameters which is used to power spinControl:VR will not validate through the online validator, as embedded using Apple's Javascript embedding technique. This does not mean that spinControl is functioning improperly nor does it mean people won't be able to view your QTVR content and spinControl controller.

People who want to offer an alternative to the limited, standard QuickTime VR controller can now do so -- without having to design one, & then spend hours coding it for themselves.

spinControl:VR is a custom QuickTime movie which, when embedded in a Web page with a QuickTime VR, can control the QTVR's pan, tilt and zoom ...and more! New: AutoTilt , AutoSpin and AUDIO CONTROL!
