Many digital cameras also include "stitching" software that allow you to build a 360° view from a series of images.

Thanks,

So I just need a series of 360° images.
A stitching software.
Quicktime Pro?

QuickTime Player can view QTVR files but the Pro upgrade offers no tools for creating them.
A "series" of image is a bit simplistic to what QTVR really is. The stitching software I mention does all the hard work of creating a "Panorama" and most can even save in QuickTime formats.
QTVR is not limited to panorama files. It can move "north and south" in addition to the "east to west" navigation of a standard panorama. It can also include "hot spots" that can enhance viewer interactivity.
