This reference CD came with the book Star Trek: The Next Generation: On Board The Enterprise, written by Denise and Michael Okuda. It doesn’t mention who made the CD that came with it. The book mentions a “Breathtaking 3D Interactive Tour” which definitely oversells it. You may have noticed from the screenshot that the rooms you look at are computer generated renders. While these renders are extremely well detailed, you can’t explore them in 3D, you’re just looking at photos of the renders. Each room has a couple of 360 photos to scroll through and nothing to interact with, it’s a very limited tour.
Included in this is the Bridge, Captain’s Ready Room, the Transporter Room, Sick Bay, a corridor, Engineering and a cargo bay. With how detailed each location is, and how it was all created on a computer, it’s surprising that there are so few places to view from, as it’s much easier to create a new render with this than taking photos of the actual sets, as done in the Interactive Technical Manual.

It’s interesting and we almost had that fully explorable version created by some fans awhile ago until they were taken down. Still we also have ST Online and at least the bridge in it. Though I wonder how many people are waiting for the sequel to “random corridor”?
The Roddenberry Archive is the modern version of it, although because it’s streaming only, the site is currently down for work (due back later this year). You could walk around the bridges of many different Enterprises (and variations of them), plus concept bridges.
I got this book ata bargain store and have yet to actually use the cd. The book’s neat tho
