Mapwing is a software technology for building, sharing, and exploring
virtual reality (VR) tours. It enables anyone with a digital camera and a
computer to create tours quickly and easily. Users can create VR locations
or “points” out of images and connect these together to form tours. A tour
can be enhanced with an interactive map, text comments, web site links, and
detail image hotspots. Mapwing tours can be viewed in web pages using
Adobe’s Flash Player or explored with OpenGL using Mapwing Viewer.
Mapwing Creator enables users to create full-featured virtual tours that
contain up to 20 points and have a map background resolution of 1024 by
1024 pixels. Mapwing Creator will be available this summer as shareware for
$39. It requires Mac OS X 10.3 or higher. For more information, visit
