Camera
• If you are using a motorized turntable, any digital camera that will link to your turntable is desired. Otherwise, any camera that is user­friendly and easy to operate is suitable. It is recommended to use a camera with 3.0 or more megapixels of effective resolution. If you capturing digital images for archival purposes, use the highest resolution camera available in your budget.

Software
• Photoshop or other image editing program. This is required for editing the final images after they have been uploaded onto your computer and before they are stitched into a final movie.
• VR ObjectWorx. This program creates the interactive movies for the user. There are other software programs that can be used to create the interactive movies, such as QuickTime VR Authoring Studio, VR PanoWorx, and Widgetizer. Each program compresses the image for the movie in a different way, creating files that may not be viewable on all media players. If your Object VR movies are to be presented on the Web, make sure that you identify which media player is required for viewing, and provide a link for users to download the program.
• QuickTime or other media player software. This allows you and your users to view the movies once they are completed. VR ObjectWorx uses QuickTime as the default movie viewer.
• eMCee Motion Control Software. This software controls the movement of a motorized turntable and the time delay between movements, allowing automated image capture. Kaidan provides the eMCee software with its motorized turntables.
