2004–09March 15, 2005Bill FoxReviews
PangeaVR 1.0.1, a FREE web browser plug-in, brings OpenGL rendering to QuickTimeVR for great image clarity and smooth panning. The PangeaVR plug-in is entirely free, and is only available for Mac OS X. Pangea also released the source code to the plug-in and they are encouraging programmers to port it to other platforms. Version 1.0.1 of the PangeaVR plug-in is available for immediate download this Web page. After you download and install PangeaVR, check out the QuickTimeVR images on these Web pages 1, 2, 3, 4.

We installed PangeaVR on our Power Mac G5 with 30" monitor. The near full-screen VR rendering is absolutely amazing, even on a 30" Cinema Display--clear, sharp and fluid! [Bill Fox]
