Quicktime VR of a traditional taro garden on Maui, Hawaii. Shot in 1996, I put together this whopping 2 meg “hi res” QTVR in 1997 thinking nobody would ever wait for the whole thing to download. 10 years later and 2 megs isn’t even a consideration. Enjoy.

In 1996, I was hired to photograph in QuickTime VR the General Motors EV1 Electric Vehicle for gmev.com, and it remained online until a few months ago (2006), when a less than positive film about the EV1 was released. I haven’t seen the film, so I can’t comment.
I also had the good fortune to drive the vehicle. The pickup was amazing, and it was utterly silent. Awesome ride.
Below are links to the QuickTime VR movies of the EV1 which I created. I have the source files, film, and video from the shoot, so someday I may create a higher resolution version of this project.
On a geek note, the QuickTime VR files for this project were assembled into a standalone application which was authored with mTropolis. Unfortunately, the presentation will no longer run on a modern Mac or PC (gotta love progress). So most of the “coolness” for that project is gone forever. But the images and animations still exist…
This is a picture from 1995 with Jay Haynes, Tim Leary, and myself. This was from the day we shot QuicktimeVR’s of Tim’s house.
The Tim Leary QTVR is here
I still have the film on this, so it would be fun to rescan it and stitch a new movie. If anyone is interested, let me know.
