1) QTVR can be used with 3D generated scenes to make
movies, so surreal landscapes and such (including space stations) can be
modeled into a QTVR movie
2)With the inclusion of "hot spot" links (and a little
tweaking of the code) you should be able to create url links inside a QTVR
movie.
3) Here is the weakness of QTVR: it is still-life images
mapped into a surround environment. Granted you can create links to move
to other perspectives or zoom in to some items, the entire environment is
static.
If the VRML group is interested in adding QTVR to VRML or creating
some sort of merged technology, this could solve the problems in #3, but I
imagine since so many people have problems simply porting browsers to the
mac platform, creating a convergent spec with workable code is unlikely
without some apple.com input and assistance. Although it's a neat idea,
VRML/QTVR marriage is at best going to be a late bloomer
