    Abstract: Optimizing and presenting various sequences of images and/or photographs for viewing with a Web browser, is accomplished without the necessity of loading the entire image set, for example in connection with the 3D display of a product of interest. To represent an object that is rotating, a set of images must be taken. These images are taken at various angles, typically using either using a fixed camera or a turntable. The illusion of an object being rotated is created when the captured images based on the angle being viewed are displayed. To ensure a seamless rotation of an object, a technique is taught that significantly concentrates on reducing the loading time of the captured images by prioritizing which images should be transferred first according to their size, and their number of object views or view angles. A seamless rotation is thus achieved while less than the total number of images is loaded.
