How? With work. There's nothing on these tours that hasn't already been done in krpano. Their pricing is "interesting".
They must be losing more money on each tour than they charge.

Hi,sachagriffin

Do you know how many scenes are there in their each tour?Is there a scene or a panorama on each move?

That is pretty interesting tour. I like the moving animation and arrow placing. As Sacha said the pricing seems fishy tho. I wonder how many tours they do per month to make it worth it. If they are doing 20+ constantly then i can see it being profitable. What goes to the layout it's just pure hard work. Good thing is that they clearly have it so that it's easy to set on new tour. Just adjust arrows and enter infos and floorplan. Everything is possible with KrPano.

They seem to shoot one panorama every 1-2m so in big houses it's a lot of panoramas. Pricing is based on m2 so that gives a hint how they shoot. Picture quality suffers quite a bit and it's not looking that good but overall presentation kinda makes up for it.

Hi,

I agree too - an interesting tour. The most things there should be already possible in krpano too.

They only different and yet not possible thing is the kind of transition - there is a 'movement in 3d space' during the transition . Basically this 'distorts' the correct view, but because this is happening very quickly and is blending at the same time, it looks quite good.

Will considering adding such feature also to krpano, but to make it looking good and right, the required parameters for the blending might be need to adjusted manually for each transition - or all panos had to be aligned the same way and additionally defined with a location in 3d space to allow the viewer to calculate the 3d moment direction automatically.

Best regards,
Klaus

It looks like the street view engine, possible ?...The transitions are nice

Having that kind of transitions would be nice ;)

Maibe, that could be an outside plugin, that allow not only that kind of transition but also others, like video transition for panos, or a sequence of still images.

The interface it's nice, and as stated evrything and much more is possible in krpano, hard work, yes..

This is a very good ideas.The tour links all disjointed, piecemeal panoramas together to show the whole picture of the house and make the visitors immersive.This technology is even better than google business view..See the following examples:

That would be great feature to have :) I wonder how they load the tour so fast? There is no load time at all when you enter or move from pano to pano. This helps the transition for sure. Can this be done in Krpano?

With which tour do you compare?
For me they don't load any faster...

E.g. compared with here (although that is a high-res multires tour):

That's fast. Mine are a lot slower but i suppose it's because my server is actually in US. Is ZOOMBLEND coming to html5? With it i got a bit like that transition effect but still not as good. http://passojadesign.com/wp-content/uplo…ramas/movetour/

Hi,

Quoted

Mine are a lot slower

Consider using multires and a faster server (eventually a CDN for the tiles) for faster loading.

I usually am using multires. Just wanted to try if it makes difference to have those in lower res and normal to speed up the loading. Thanks Klaus!

Walking as Google Street View

Hello,

Anyone know how to do to have this effect of walking when you click the arrow to go to next scene ???

Like the google street view and also like this example:
