Hi,
i made a simple, bare bone, example to show you how you could deliver the functionality of PaMe to your clients.
https://www.virtualtuur.com/pame/examples/1/
- Press the measure icon in the control bar, or press 'M' on your keyboard to show the selection tool.
- As you need two panos to measure, visit your pano 1 (1,2 or 3) and click the P1 button, or press '1' on your keyboard. Then visit your, other, pano 2 and click the P2 button, or 2 on keyboard.
The measure page will open automatically and you can start measuring directly.
This is possible because i, as 'virtual tour provider', already calibrated the pano sets for you. (which you could do as well as 'virtual tour provider '.. so the end-user can start measuring directly).
This calibrations costed me less than 52.5 seconds per pano set.
1-2
1-3
2-3
For this example i
blocked:
- save the measurement
- save or manipulate the 'calibration'
- hide the users info
That means you can measure and get some results.
Put a red and white dot in both panos on both sides of the length you want to measure, the dots should correspondent (!), then press 'Calculate Result'.
You can find some references lengths here:

To understand where you should/could measure, and which panos to select, you could visit this page:

Some answer to questions you might have:
- All you see will run on 'your side', (local or online) server. (php is used!).
- No data about the panos or measurements will be transferred, except license info, credits count and input --> result. Also the result will not be 'recorded' at my side.
- PaMe uses cookies (!), but only to transport the 'image paths' from your tour/scenes to the/your 'blue page'.
- You are free to make it look as you like. You can change the blue page, take my logo's out etc etc, you can design the selection tool as you like, change key code(s), create your own 'trigger' button, change the coloured dots etc etc.
It is all in the xml or html/php/css.
- The tool seems very accurate, although it all depends on your accuracy and following the right 'protocol' and procedures.
- if you like to use centimeters, feet or an other 'measure unit', just make sure your input is, when calibrating, like that during the whole process. Then the result will also be in that measure unit. A setting for that is available in the xml. In the example the measure unit is set to meters.
I hope you have some insight and fun on the example.
I will provide some more and different examples soon.
