Virtual Open Day for Royal Holloway, University of London

Hi everyone,

I've been checking out the brilliant examples on this forum for a while, and I've finally been able to convince my boss to let me post one of our projects on here.

This is a "Virtual Open Day" style project we produced for Royal Holloway, University of London. It's a mixture of video and 360 content that's been created to show off their facilities:

It would be awesome to get some feedback and hear what you all think!

my comments:
- when switching to/out of full screen I expect not to reload the panorama and keep my view where I clicked.
- When info/other hotspots clicked than there is mask over panorama that turned mouse as active area (handcustor="false" misisng) It should be only on infobox and not masking layer.
- you should take chance and remove your self from mirrors/windows....
- there is to long black screen delay with blink before preview of clicked panorama is chosen (by purpose or code mistake)
- click and drag to explore and jumping FS not the same when using map or list of pano built inside

Otherwise nice project.

Thanks for your feedback!

This is something we do to reduce loading time when the tour isn't in full screen - going full screen triggers a higher res panorama. I definitely see your point about keeping the view though.

When info/other hotspots clicked than there is mask over panorama that turned mouse as active area (handcustor="false" misisng) It should be only on infobox and not masking layer.
This is a really good point - I think usually the function we use is to click anywhere to close the popup to increase usability, but it looks like that's not the case here. Good spot!

We're usually really thorough with this, so I'm curious - can you tell me which area this is in?

I'll have a look into why it's taking so long to initialise the tour - thanks for pointing it out.

We felt like this would get annoying if it happened with each new 360, so it only triggers once per list "group".

Thanks again for taking the time to have a look around and reply - it's really valuable to get feedback like this and I really appreciate it!

Music rehea.....

If you pan around to the other side of the room, you can see that this is the reflection of the woman with the trumpet.

You are right. I got a feeling it is panograph lady

It's probably easier for me to spot since I know what our photographer looks like! Still, it's great to know that you were looking at the tours in that much detail.

I've already discussed some of your comments with my team and they'll definitely help us in future, so thanks again.
