January CFCS Meeting.
 Whittle's Picks
At The Society’s meeting last Sunday, Dave Whittles spent
some excellent time with the membership explaining and demonstrating
some really first class software!
First of all Dave is extremely
well educated in the software he was demonstrating as well as very
articulate and clear in his illustrations.
Dave took us through
several of his offerings and gave some impressive demonstrations
of what the programs are capable of.
Particularly impressive were
the uses of software to connect a series of pictures into a panoramic
view of some series of objects. He had a series of pictures taken
by his teen aged son that the software connected exactly to produce
a wide screen view of a particular park. Also, he had pictures
in which it was possible to “move through” a series
of pictures to tour from place to place and still staying with
the panoramic view. That capability was impressive to say the least.
The program was iSeeMedia– Formerly
known as Photovista, Photovista Virtual Tour and/or Reality Studio.
Further Dave demonstrated a program called MUVEE that
can take home videos and connect them together in a very impressive program.
With that software
there isn’t any excuse to leave those camcorder tapes in the box. Just
put them in the computer and let MUVEE take over and adjust the tempo, view
and add music to your videos. As a big plus the program takes still photos
and incorporates them too!
No one left without being fully entertained and
informed in the capabilities of the programs he offered.
Better yet, he had
disks with him to sell at the meeting. Another really great program for The
Society.
