Thanks to QuickTime VR technology, you can visit my workspace (circa 1996) in its disheveled, disorderly, almost-360-degree glory. As a special added bonus (with the help of a bit of sloppy processing on my part), you can view the scene with a fascinating, slightly nauseating distortion. I guess every site has to have at least one Gratuitous Use of Leading Edge Computer Technology. This is mine.

Click and drag in the window to navigate the scene. The control key zooms out and the alt key zooms in.


This was my office and studio.
Where I worked.
And played.
And originally built this website.

A bit messy, wasn't it?
But that's necessary, I think.
How can creativity occur in a sterile place?


If you're wondering, the machine on the right is a PowerWave 604/120 (a PowerMac clone), the one on the left is a Mac 660AV.

I built this QuickTime VR scene very quickly and sloppily, using a (handheld!) camcorder to shoot a sequence of images, digitized on the 660AV and processed through Apple's QTVR toolkit. It took less than an hour all in all - not bad for a first try. The software worked wonders with very mediocre source images...

You will need Netscape 3.0 and the Quicktime VR plugin to view this scene.
