About
ImmerVision's PURE Player
Designed for
maximum performance, simplicity and ease of use, ImmerVision's PURE Player makes
panoramic imaging scaleable, portable, fast, and visually stunning. Panoramas
can be viewed full-screen, regardless of resolution or image size, with flawless
display quality and full fluidity of viewing controls.
Available free
for website applications and soon for PDA and cell phones, the PURE Player
viewer is a highly flexible and more efficient solution than ever before for
playing panoramic content.
PURE Player
software is part of the suite of solutions based on ImmerVision's PURE (Panorama
Universal Rendering Engine) technology. Put simply, PURE is a sophisticated
collection of high-performance algorithms dedicated to projecting, controlling
and viewing photos and videos in a virtual tridimensional space.
"With the
integration of ImmerVision’s IVP file format, REALVIZ Stitcher users can now
directly output their panoramas to be visualized with PURE Player without the
need for any further file manipulation," explains Alessandro Gasparini,
ImmerVision's Chief Commercial Officer, "and the IVP format facilitates
publishing and viewing of a single format panorama on multiple platforms and
devices.”
"REALVIZ is very
pleased with this collaboration,” adds Dominique Pouliquen, REALVIZ CEO.
“Providing the best possible Java player was a key request from our user base
who were looking for alternatives to QuickTime®
VR. We look forward to seeing the content created by our users with this new
technology!"
