			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve just heard that Google has bought <a href="http://www.quiksee.com/">Quiksee</a> for 10 millions $. I was curious about Quiksee virtual tour technology as I&#8217;ve written myself something that seem equivalent 5 years ago. But their website doesn&#8217;t explain anything, neither their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4rLoUi7D_8&#038;feature=player_embedded">&#8220;nice&#8221; demo clip</a>.</p>
<p>Like Quiksee, my virtual tour system is composed of panoramic pictures linked by videos. The first version of my virtual tour was created in 2005 (2 years before <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View">Google Street View launch</a>). </p>
<p>During <a href="http://www.visual-experiments.com/about/resume-english/">my internship</a> in the beautiful city of the <a href="http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&#038;source=s_q&#038;hl=fr&#038;geocode=&#038;q=puy+en+velay&#038;sll=46.75984,1.738281&#038;sspn=13.552334,26.784668&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;hq=&#038;hnear=Le+Puy-en-Velay,+Haute-Loire,+Auvergne&#038;z=13">Puy-en-velay</a> I&#8217;ve taken around 1800 pictures to create a virtual tour. This virtual tour is composed of 18 panoramic pictures and 44 videos links. I&#8217;ve first created a full featured version using Flash for video playback (Yajev) and then I&#8217;ve improved this version with a full HTML5 version (Html5 Virtual Tour).</p>
<h3>Yajev</h3>
<p>Ok, I&#8217;m not gifted to find a product name (Yajev -> Yaj3v (l33t) -> yajvvv -> yet another virtual visit viewer). My first demo of Yajev was created in 2005 and was showing a <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&#038;source=s_q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;q=47420+Allons,+France&#038;sll=44.202515,-0.054432&#038;sspn=0.103986,0.264187&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;hq=&#038;hnear=Allons,+Lot-et-Garonne,+Aquitania,+France&#038;z=13">small French village</a> (5000 pictures, 51 videos and 20 panoramic pictures), but it&#8217;s not visible anymore.<br />

<h3>Html5 VirtualTour</h3>
<p>This version is 2 years old now. Unfortunately the videos were encoded with Theora, so this demo can&#8217;t run on IE9. So this demo is best viewed with Google Chrome and Firefox.<br />

<p><strong style="color: red">There is no support for this virtual tour !</strong> The javascript files are not obfuscated: you are free to do what you want with it. I&#8217;ve created this to improve my javascript skills, but I&#8217;m much more interested by computer vision now, so I&#8217;m sorry but I can&#8217;t provide any support for Yajev nor Html5 Virtual Tour.</p>
