There are also other programs available to stitch images into 360 panoramas (see links below). Dersch's software and is now available commercially. PTGui is a stitching program built on the basis of Dr. In 2006, IPIX filed for bankruptcy, many of its patents were sold and this also allowed other companies to develop alternative spherical stitching software. Helmet Dersch who had created his own stitching software and released if for free, but had to take it down because of the high cost of defending himself and this created ill will in the VR community. Unfortunately the high cost of making spherical movies, their poor quality and the aggressive marketing tactics used by IPIX lead many photographers (including myself) to avoid using their proprietary software. My first attempts were made with a compact Olympus digital camera and a small fish eye lens.

Back in the late 1990's there was a method to make spherical panoramas using proprietary software provided by IPIX, but the company charged a license fee to create each movie of $25-75 each. I have been photographing panoramas for over 10 years and making movies out of them, but my earlier movies were tubes that did not allow a visitor to look up at the sky or down at the ground ( see my earlier article and tutorial on panorama photography). It's also possible to link one movie to another in order to create a virtual tour with hot spots and add music, narration, video, text, expandable maps, and animated radars that turn in the direction the movie is pointed. Spherical panorama photography involves stitching a series of images together to create an entire 360 sphere that with the right software can be converted into an interactive movie using QuickTime VR, Flash, Java or HTML 5 with Javascript.
Watch animation and note it is snowing in the panorama.
