Using 2876px size cube faces with iPad gen 3

  • I've created a tour from PanoTour Pro that creates 2876px cube faces, although I've failed to gain any zoomable resolution close to that size. I've compared zooming into my tour to zooming into the source cube face.

    Under the ending action tag in my main virtualtour xml file I have:

    <display html5rendermode="1" hardwarelimit="2876" devices="iPad3+Retina" />

    Even when trying this with the hardwarelimit set to 2048 and my cube faces set to that as well, it doesn't appear to be retina.

    In the xml file that is loaded for pano I'm viewing, I've tried several things, including this in the image tag:

    <image type="CUBE">
    <left url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/3.jpg"/>
    <front url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/0.jpg"/>
    <right url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/1.jpg"/>
    <back url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/2.jpg"/>
    <up url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/4.jpg"/>
    <down url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/5.jpg"/>
    <!-- mobile phone / iphone images -->
    <mobile>
    <left url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/3.jpg"/>
    <front url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/0.jpg"/>
    <right url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/1.jpg"/>
    <back url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/2.jpg"/>
    <up url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/4.jpg"/>
    <down url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/5.jpg"/>
    </mobile>
    <!-- tablet pc / ipad images -->
    <tablet>
    <left url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/3.jpg"/>
    <front url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/0.jpg"/>
    <right url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/1.jpg"/>
    <back url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/2.jpg"/>
    <up url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/4.jpg"/>
    <down url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/5.jpg"/>
    </tablet>
    </image>

    I've also tried

    <image>
    <mobile url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/%s.jpg" devices="mobile|tablet" />
    </image>

    and

    <image>
    <mobile url="virtualtourdata/virtualtour5/%s.jpg" devices="iPad3+Retina" />
    </image>

    Any idea what I could be doing wrong here? Thanks *thumbup*

  • Sorry but the ipad 3 can not at all work with that size.

    You can try using around 1800 and with <display usedesktopimages="true" hardwarelimit="1800" devices="ipad+retina"/> but that will be very slow to load.

    I have an example here. http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen6/f7-venice-gondola.html


    In my opinion max size for iPad 3 using html5rendermode="2" is 1400 but that is for a plain panorama.

    With hotspots or other additions you can not use more than the 1024 like you do for iPad1.

  • That is too bad *confused*

    I was lead to believe otherwise. What is strange screen shots zoomed into a 2048 cube face on my iPad looks very close to being zoomed into a 2048 cube face source image viewing it on Preview on my Mac.

    Thank you for the info. Is there a way you could possibly link me to your main and tour xml file just so I can see how they are put together? Best

  • Hi,

    1. you need to use the 1.0.8.15 version of the krpano HTML5 viewer (not the 1.0.8.14 one from Panotour)

    2. and then add:

    Code
    <display html5rendermode="1" hardwarelimit="2876" devices="iPad3+Retina" />


    or:

    Code
    <display html5rendermode="2" devices="iPad3+Retina" />

    but 2876px might be too big to work well...

    best regards,
    Klaus
