That was the one. I was just 30-second fast forwarding over one of the
commercials and had to come back to the thread and check that it'd
gotten listed. :)

thanks everyone

 i just needed to show them an example, i have a pro photographer that will 
take the photos on a lazy susan and inside a "white space", they just wanted to 
know how user friendly it would be.

Taking it even further off topic: there's a neat Japanese gizmo I saw once.

Essentially it was a rack that held 10 or 12 disposable cameras in a ring
facing outwards.  The rack was put on a tall pole (like 10') and knocking
the pole on the ground would take pictures with all the cameras at once.

Since the pictures were taken at the same time and overlapped each other
stitching them was easy.

I've not seen it for sale again... but if I did I'd buy one.  ;^)

For small object pieces I recommend a fixed camera and lazy susan
arrangement.  You have to make the background as static and regular as
possible, but that's a LOT easier than moving the camera around a lot.

I used to take pictures of Lego constructions this way... but I lost all of
the finished files in a drive crash.  :^(

I think you're thinking of Vehix.com - they do both interior (fixed camera)
and exterior (revolving camera) shots.  They use QuickTime VR so I can't see
them (I'm mad at QuickTime).

I used to use a nifty, incredibly simple Java Applet called "Freedom VR" for
this - it was only like 8 or 10 kb and worked a treat.  But I don't think
development was kept up on it.

I'm sure once you did the stitching (which you can do in many programs) it
wouldn't be hard to put together something in Flash...

Nope. They do virtual tours. That's stand here and turn in a circle"
as opposed to "stand here and turn this other thing in a circle." The
first is done in quicktime and if you are really lucky and have
budget, with an expensive camera that does rotating over the head
shots of some kind. (My old company made one for Tulane but I didn't
ever see the expensive gizmo camera.) The other tends to use flash I
think.

It's driving me nuts now. There is a "car information" site online
that has commercials where they spin the car around however you want
and change it's color and stuff. I can't remember the company name and
I've seen the ads a gajillion times. Which tells you how well the ads
work.
