iSeeMedia Virtual Tour Java Viewer

The iSeeMedia Virtual Tour Java Viewer lets you view immersive images on your Web site such as panoramas, objects and images. There are two types of viewers: a Flashpix viewer for Flashpix based virtual tours (requires the iSeeMedia ZOOM Image Server) and a JPEG viewer for JPEG based virtual tours. The iSeeMedia Virtual Tour Java Viewer will allow you to use only one viewer applet to view different types of content, such as panoramas, objects or 2D images, displayed on your Web site.
