What is an IVR file?

IVR files mostly belong to RealPlayer by RealNetworks. IVR filename extension is associated with video streams recorded with RealPlayer 11 or later. An IVR video file is saved in a proprietary format that is only supported by RealPlayer. IVR filename extension is also associated with panoramic attributes and hotspots of images saved in Image Worlds format which was extended from VRML format. Saving an image in IVR format generates two files: a JPG file and an IVR file which contains interactive hotspots (as cubes, icons etc.) which respond to user actions such as clicks, hover etc. An IVR image file essentially consists of digital photographs and synthetic graphics saved as a single picture. The Internet media type for sharing IVR images is i-world/Ivrml.

How can I open an IVR file?

You need a suitable software like RealPlayer to open an IVR file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your IVR file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a IVR file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
