great experiments !!!

Hey Tuur, good one!

Very nice example of what can be achieved with Krpano, you deserve a complete round of beers for that one. I'm also a big fan of your experiments with the viewer, they may not have the most fanciful graphics but I think they are nice creative examples about what can be achieved with this platform.

Now, as Nupsi stated before, the movement of the ball has still some "bugs", I found this well explained example of a bouncing ball coded in Javascript and HTML5 which can be helpful for your next version of "Krpong" (hehe, loved the name):

In the end this "bug" is more a physics problem that a math one (although math are the ones used to describe this movement). Physics for this case state that incident angle must equal reflection angle and linear speed must be the same after the collision for energy to preserve. If you just spread ball's velocity in it's horizontal and vertical components then it's pretty easy to do this as you just have to invert the component in which the collision was made each time the ball hits the wall/racket, that will give realism to the ball.

If you're curious about the physics of this movement then you can google "ball wall elastic collision", it's high school physics so you hopefully you won't find much deep math there.

Cheers!

i'm very much aware of that.

Yeah, I know that, don't take me wrong here, they're just tests and doesn't require fancy graphics.

By the way, I didn't know your bathtub pano, great interactive example, I'm still thinking about how to get that one. ¿synchronized distorted hotspots for the ship? ¿I guess?

Hey Tuur, thanx for the explanation!

Zitat

imagine cutting that all out … :-/

Hehe, I think there are not much more crazy krpanoers in this world which would take the time to take things at that level of detail. But in the end the efford payed off, it's a nice example as you say of the vector math plugin, but also a very original one.

Cheers and hope to see Krpong 2.0 soon.
