(VR Toolbox)

         Open the VR Toolworx program from the VR Toolbox folder

• Select Create a Panorama.
• The screen that appears next is the screen that will guide you through the program.
Setup
• Source Format: Multiple Images
• Acquire From: PLUG-IN Image File
• Node sweep: Determine the degrees for your panorama, usually 360.
• Max Frames: Select the number of pictures you have captured.
• Lens Params:
Length: This is a number you might have to play with. (For a 360 degree panorama, we have had good luck setting this number to 50.)
FOV: This number will automatically change when the top number is changed.
• Image Size: Change to Custom (at the very top of drop down menu). Set the width to 720 and the height to 480.
Acquire:
• Click on Multiple. A window will appear that will allow you to browse to the location of your folder of pictures. Open the folder.
• Click on the first picture. Select Add 16 or whatever total number of slides you have.
• Click Done.
• The pictures should be displayed horizontally. Once the computer has acquired all of the pictures, you are ready for the next step.
Stitch:
• Select the Tolerance button. Move the slider to the right to select a higher degree of tolerance. (That will cause the stitching to take more time but the stitching will be better and require less editing.)
• Click in the Transparent checkbox.
• De-select Hyper Stitch.
• Click Stitch. Wait until your pictures are stitched.
• Observe each picture as they are aligned. If you notice horizontal alignment that you would like to edit, select the picture by clicking on it. Under Adjustments Offset, click on the appropriate arrow to align the pictures. 
• Blend:
• Click on the Blend button.
• Hot Spots tab:
• Skip the Hot Spots unless you will be creating hot spots on the VR to which you will link other VR files or creating hot spots for URLs.
• Compress tab:
• For a smaller file, change the color depth to 16 bit (thousands of colors).
• Click the Compress button
• Playback tab:
• Attributes can be set to
Annotate the copyright information
Interaction settings determine the speed of the pan,
Quality of the color and motion.
• Move the panorama to the scene you desire for the first screen. The Initial screen (the screen designated as the opening screen) can be set.
• Export:
• Click on the Export Movie button. A dialog screen will open to allow you to select the location for the QuickTime file. Give the file an appropriate name, making sure that the .mov extension is attached. This is the file that can be used on the web, in a presentation, or in a HyperStudio.
• Save:
• Go to File and Save As. 
• Give the file a name and save the file as a Panorama file. This file allows you to come back and edit the file in VR Toolworx at a later date.
