Apple Computer invited both amateur and professional photographers alike to participate in Spin-o-Rama, MacWorld's first and biggest virtual reality event ever. Spin-o-Rama was Apple's way of demonstrating the ease, fun and utility of the Apple QuickTime VR Authoring Studio for creating virtual reality experiences.

On January 8th,1998 200 photographers disseminated to various spots within one square mile of Moscone Center, the site of that year's MacWorld San Francisco. The intent was to create an expansive Virtual Reality landscape around Moscone Center.
