PTGui

Disclaimer: I'm a hobbyist with only the most rudimentary graphic editing skills.

Over much of the past year, I made QTVR panoramas with PTMac. My 6 horiztonal shots stitched wonderfully, but adding the zenith often caused errors with seams, in the triangle formed by the zenith shot and the first and last horizontal shots. Usually the error would be a small section off by 1-3 pixels. I'm working on acquiring the graphic editing skills to take care of such errors.

Like any software, Stitcher has its quirks and bugs and these are of course most apparent (and annoying) to heavy users (of which I'll consider myself one). The Stitcher team has, over time, addressed many of these quirks/bugs -- but of course new ones always crop up. This isn't surprising for Stitcher or for any piece of software being developed. I develop my own interactive QuickTime 'widget' which is used by many in our VR development community, and constantly have to address its quirks and issues.

As of August 2006 I've moved from my home-based office in Berkeley, near the Berkeley Bowl. I'm now sharing office space with one of my clients, NurtureSource Designs, in West Berkeley
