ProspectV

ProspectV is a new image exploration and visualization instrument allowing the user to explore in unmatched detail any image or series of images with the dynamic motion of pans, zooms and rotations, rendered in real-time by the PC according to a text script. The script specifies in detail the motion of the virtual camera by means of keyframes defining pixel coordinates, extents and degree angles. The resulting video can be of unlimited length, and the size occupied on the disk by the presentation is little more than the size of the original images, since frames are not recorded but rendered in real-time, making it compact enough for email distribution. The multimedia features comprise script-based sound and music support, and looping playback for permanent kiosk-based installations. ProspectV is an imaging technology which may be utilized in scientific research, remote sensing and image analysis, as well as in museum and arts presentation, digital photography, and any image-based content. MRU has developed several demos and museum installations to showcase its potential in these diverse fields of application. The demos are available from the MRU's corporate website.
