| Stitching Tools: There are quite a few stitching software applications available for PCs and Macs. Apple's QuickTime VR Authoring Studio is only available for the Mac, but RealViz Stitcher is multi-platform, as is VR Worx. Some packages such as Panorama Factory are available for Windows only. I've summarized some key points about these packages:
As you can see, there's just a lot of options for capturing and building VR scenes. Don't get too overwhelmed -- once you pick a camera and computer, the number of choices drops dramatically. If you have any photo gear at all now, you ought to be able to get started shooting panos without making a big investment.
