Pixtra
Stitchers: Create Virtual Tours - Overview
Now that you
have made a panorama with Pixtra PanoStitcher or
Pixtra
OmniStitcher, it is time to create a virtual tour web page to
share with the world.
PanoStitcher 1.5 and OmniStitcher 1.1 add a brand new free
virtual tour authoring feature. Creating the tour page can
be as simple as "Load" and "Create Web Page",
though more features are available for customization, such as
changing the page layout colors / fonts, as well as tour music.
Click on the tour
page snapshots to enjoy the tours:

Virtual Tour manual for more info.
The Java applet
PixtraTour is the virtual tour engine. The authored tour
page provides rich navigation options, which is summarized in this
tour Help web page (launched by clicking the tour control bar Help
button in a tour page):
