The file extension IPX is associated with IPIX Interactive Studio in addition to other applications which are created by IPIX. IPIX image authoring tools are produced by Minds-Eye-View, Inc. The applications offer a comprehensive set of tools which allow you to create spherical images to provide the effect of an immersive photograph. The sphere produces a double fisheye effect for photos which is similar to using a single fisheye lens on a high-end camera.
The IPX file extension is an image file type that contains multiple images which have been connected together using the 360-degree spherical tool included in an IPIX application. IPX files can also store settings and scripts for use with the image which has been stitched together with the spherical tool.
The purpose of the file extension IPX is to provide a way to create virtual tours of buildings, landscapes, and other areas. The tours are typically guided by architects, professional photographers, and realtors using a virtual environment. The images are commonly viewed using one of a series of IPIX Viewers.
