Is there currently a way to script smooth pan jumps from one view to another ?
If not I`d like to request the option. With more people making hires gigapixel images showed with KrPano we need better scripting of the viewer to show various points of interest in the image.
If you have a look at the Dresden image youll see that pan jumps follow a linear motion thats less than optimal: http://www.dresden-26-gigapixels.com/dresden26GP Click some times on the various point of interests, and then have a look at this Silverlight case and youll see the difference in user friendlyness: http://blogs.msdn.com/lutzg/archive/…animations.aspx
From the DeepZoom blog:
ZitatHere's a problem: I want to pan smoothly from one area in a map to another. One way to do that is simply update Viewport Origin and ViewportWidth and let Deep Zoom handle the transition animation. Unfortunately that will lead to animations that look like you are traveling at the speed of light across the globe if you have large distances to cover.
Ideally, you'd want to zoom out a tad bit, nudge over a bit, and zoom back in. Well, thanks to Dan Cory and James Darpinian, we have such a solution. Based on this paper, we implemented this.
Heres a paper on the subject: http://www.win.tue.nl/~vanwijk/zoompan.pdf
Theres also this paper: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/jazz/lear…-spacescale.pdf
Is this possible in KrPano ? If yes it will make the viewer much better suited for hires panos and zoomable images.
