2500 polygonal hotspots... Is it possible?

Hi!

I'll plan to make а virtual tour which will include 2500 polygonal hotspots.
* 16 360VR pano in VR tour
* VR pano resolution is 14000x7000px
- This part is already realized
* 100-250 polygonal hotspots per a VR pano, 2500 hotspots total
* 4-50 point per a hotspot
* Each of hotspots will open a pop-up window (textfild plugin)
- This part in plans only.

Are there any hidden obstacles or limitations?

that will be alot of xml to read at the start. i would make an action that creates the polyspots onstart of each scene. that way the only ones that are actually in use at any given time are the ones in the current scene. i think that would be better than having them all created and using visible true/false to view them.

Hi,

when the hotspots are defined inside the <scene> or inside the pano xml,
then only the hotspots of the current scene/pano will be shown/calculated/rendered of course,

there is no direct limitation, but the cpu needs a bit time for calculation and rendering a hotspot,
so more hotspots are also needing more cpu time of course,

in a normal case 100-250 polygonal hotspots shouldn't be a big problem on todays computers,
but I can't say to sure of course, the best way to find out would be to try it, e.g. try to draw a
lot of hotspots with the editor plugin and see how it behaves...

best regards,
Klaus

One more question:
How make all hotspots visible after panorama loading?

I have tried some ways but have failed.

1. Create additional XML with hotspot and make loadxml actions

Source code

 
1

<events onloadcomplete="loadxml([hotspot.xml], null, KEEPALL);"/>

- The panorama picture is lost because <image> doesn't support keep attribute

2. To set visibility in style for all hotspots

Source code

 
1

<events onloadcomplete="set(style[hs].visible,true);"/>

- "set" and "style" are incompatible

3. Extensive way

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5

<events onloadcomplete="set(hotspot[hs1].visible,true);
 	set(hotspot[hs2].visible,true);
 	set(hotspot[hs3].visible,true);
 	....
 	set(hotspot[hs2500].visible,true);"/>

- It works properly but code is very long

Сould you advice something?

switch(hotspot.visible);

will toggle the entire hotspot layer on and off.

It's really simple *smile* Thanks!

But this way requires double switching: true->false->true

Source code

 
1
2
3

<style name="hs" visible="true" ............./>
<events onxmlcomplete="switch(hotspot.visible);"
    	onloadcomplete="switch(hotspot.visible);"/>


If to do only one switching false->true

Source code

 
1
2

<style name="hs" visible="false" ............./>
<events onloadcomplete="switch(hotspot.visible);"/>


...it doesn't work

I don't understand this logic *unsure*
