Reminded of a classic Star Trek TNG Technical Manual CD-ROM.... And sure enough this guy extracted QuickTime VR panoramas for the TNG portions of this. Pretty well done. Note the little dots on the floorplans take you to viewpoints.
From a random Reddit thread about the site in 2020 (tho it's been an ongoing project for many years earlier)
> _Back in the 90s, 360° panoramas were the new hot thing, and Star Trek was there!_
> I've pulled out a bunch of the old QTVR so we can explore them again.
The 90s plans are from the TNG Technical Manual CD and Captain's Chair, all from set photography except for the 3D renders of the TOS bridge. There's also the Star Trek 2009 bridge photo that was on their old site - they had a few other interior set ones too, but sadly I haven't been able to find a copy of that. I have a feeling there was a higher quality copy of the bridge ones, too, but again.

In the panoramas for the USS Enterprise (Kelvin) you can see the barcode scanners they used.

I was hoping to see the Enterprise from Brave New Worlds. The show isn't that great, but the interior design of the ship was taken to another level.

I don't have anything intelligent to say other than this is extremely cool. Don't miss the "behind the scenes" shot.

Upper left corner of the Enterprise-D bridge, you can see the door to the bathroom.

It's very interesting to look through. My brain somehow gives me the impression that I've been there - especially on the Enterprise-D.

These are better than typical panoramas. These are full 360 photos. These could be easily adapted for VR.

I never noticed that the floor of the BoP appears to be mounted on a shock-absorbing suspension
