## QTVR Movies

These are special kinds of movies that do not contain time-based media. Instead, they present three-dimensional virtual worlds where the user can navigate with the mouse or keyboard. Each QTVR movie contains a single scene, which in turn contains one or more nodes. Currently, QuickTime supports these two types of nodes:

- Panoramic nodes (a.k.a. VR panoramas) provide a view of the "outside" world from "inside". The user can change the viewing angles, zoom in and out, and navigate within the panorama with the mouse.
- Object nodes (a.k.a. VR objects) provide a view of a single object (or a group of objects), from the "outside" looking "in". Objects can be rotated, zoomed in and out, and moved by the user.

Navigational links between nodes in a VR movie are provided by hot spots. Hot spots are graphical elements in VR nodes. When a hot spot is clicked, the user moves to the hot spot's link destination. Depending on hot spot type, the link destination can be another VR node, an Internet URL, or any application-specific entity.
