<p>Method for producing an interactive virtual movie, which simulates the walki ng of a user within a real site and exploring the same, comprising the steps of : (a) Defining first minimal conditions for the creation of a new node; (b) Defining second minimal conditions for linking between nodes; (c) Moving a scanning apparatus along routes within the site, measuring the x,y, displacement coordinates, and angular orientation of the scanning apparatus at any given time, and creating a new node at least whenever such first minimal conditions are met; (d) Obtaining an image data at each node location reflecting a camera unit field of view, and associating the said image data and its orientation with the x,y, location coordinates of the present node; (e) Finding and registering neighborhood links between pairs of nodes to generally create chains of nodes, each link assignment connecting between an y two nodes satisfies at least said second minimal conditions required for linking between nodes, wherein more than one link may be assigned to a node (f) Further associating and registering with each created link an exit angul ar orientation from a first node in the pair and entry angular orientation to t he second node in the pair.</p> |
