Turn Around Production Ltd. positions itself among the top producers of New Media. We have been in operation since 1993. Our two primary services are: QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) and Interactive CourseWare (ICW).
We have been creating QTVR since its inception. Our goal is to make VR accessible to the mainstream; we accomplish this by offering a high quality product at an affordable price. Our panoramas are among the smallest and highest quality of any VR on the web. We continue to develop new compression and display techniques to provide a superior product.
ICW takes the form of Computer Based Training (CBT), Computer Managed Instruction (CMI), and Corporate Training (CT) software. The ICW that we create is custom educational software; namely, TAP works with the client to develop software that addresses their specific needs. The majority of companies who have the capabilities of producing ICW use simple, and linear, multimedia
authoring systems such as Macromedia Director. In addition to Director, TAP uses Macromedia Authorware as our main authoring system. Through the use of Authorware we can produce much more sophisticated, complex, nonlinear, and interactive products. Products that are able to monitor their use and can provide calculated feedback. Authorware allows for the creation of high end nonlinear interactive products with more time spent on
WHAT is being created instead of how it is being created. In essence we create both intelligent and aesthetic pieces.

Computer Based Training
Computer Based Training (CBT) applications are geared specifically to enhance learning, management, communication, and work performance. Combining all media available, CBT applications allow for not only active training manuals but also access to procedure, diagrams, and safety standards, to name a few possibilities, at the click of a mouse. Corporate Instruction applications fill the niche that was once occupied by overheads and slide shows. Now animations, interactive group tasks, and active learning devices can be delivered in the lecture or seminar setting. It has been found that this type of learning enhances retention and interest.

Computer Managed Instruction
Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) applications allow the educator to institute computer based education. The computer can 'manage' the educational process by creating statistics, give readouts on what the user has taken, what he has not taken and what he is having difficulty with. Not only does the application receive input but it generates feedback to the user or instructor. CMI is especially desirable for teaching skills that are difficult to visualize or creating a hands on training environment. CMI has proven to be a cost effective and useful alternative to traditional teaching methods.

Virtual Tours/ Quicktime Virtual Reality
Turn Around Production is the leading producer in Western Canada of Virtual Tours for the Travel and Tourism, and Real Estate industries. QTVR panoramas let a user view a scene, like a room or outdoor vista, from a variety of angles that rivals actually being there. A full panorama pans 360 degrees giving the user the illusion of standing in the middle of the scene. Up to 256 panoramas can be combined in one scene; the user can navigate through the different panoramas by clicking on embeded hotspots. For example: an internet user access a QTVR tour of the hotel he is interested in staying at. Beginning in the lobby he can view a panorama of a suite by clicking on the elevator; he can click on the front door to view a wonderful rooftop panorama of local sights; and/or he can click on the registration desk where he can reserve a room! The user can easily navigate throughout the entire scene. Visit our site to see examples and get further information!!
