I am working on a project that will be made public this year (read open
source).
I found a way to create adventure games "a la Myst" easily without any
editor.
So everyone will be able to make it's own game or just to navigate in a
virtual world made of prerendered images.
But with way much more interactions than previous technologies (read
walking normally like most realtime videogames).
The concept is a "node player" that support stereoscopic, joystick,
sound etc...
Kind of a web browser but for 3D navigation based on rendering or photos.
I cannot tell you more for now, but the whole idea fit on a single page.
And no, it is not similar to quicktime.
In the meantime this is an interesting way to make 360 stereoscopic
images easily.
