The most important goal of the virtual reality is to create a virtual world by computers to allow users control the virtual objects interactively．Traditionally，the virtual reality systems use 3D computer graphics to model and render a virtual environment in real time．However，this approach usually requires laborious modeling and expensive spe-cial purpose rendering hardware．The rendering quality and scene complexity are often re-stricted due to the real-time constraint．Image-based rendering is a new approach in com-posing a virtual environment in which a set of panoramic images are used to compose the virtual environment and walk in the space is accomplished by“hopping”to different panoramic points．This paper provides a model for creating an image-based virtual reality system．By using this model，an experience system referred to as QUICK SHOW is ac-complished with some additional image tools implemented．
