Remembering the formats that Apple forgot.

The QuickTake 100 and 150 were pioneering digital cameras, and QuickTime VR was a groundbreaking immersive imaging technology. Apple stopped supporting their formats years ago. I did something about that. Vintage Viewer brings QuickTake photos and QuickTime VR movies back to life on a modern Mac.
