Creating a "Virtual Tour" on the Web?
MadCow42 asks: "Back in 1996, I created a point-and-click Virtual Tour of my apartment, and updated it a few times over the years. I ended up with 180 separate hand-written HTML pages, and a pretty cool tour, which won many web awards. The problem is, hand-coded individual pages are not very efficient (or exciting) way to present such a thing, today. When I started out, it was pretty unique and exciting, but now I'd like to create a new tour that is much more dynamic and 'fluid'. Having my own webserver, I am thinking of doing it mostly through Perl CGI scripting and a database. Are there any 'Virtual Tour Toolkits' out there? If I created one, would others be interested in it? I'd hate to reinvent the wheel, but if I do, I'd like any feedback as to how to most efficiently design for such a 'walk-through' system so that it is quick and complete." -
