QuickTime VR (virtual reality) (also known as QTVR) is a type of image file format supported by Apple's QuickTime.   A QTVR Object Movie is a series of still images that show an object from several    different angles. The object may be shown in full rotation.   An array of images are split into Rows and Columns.  Each Row shows an object at different angles in the horizontal plane, each Column - in the vertical plane.    User can define "Views Columns" and "Views Rows" - number of horizontal and vertical views and the initial column and row
