Walking up a stair in krpano 3D

Quote from kme

Been playing around with a multi-floor gallery. One of the objectives is to be able to walk up/down elevated areas or being able to walk up/down a staircase.

Here is a test scenario I put together, would be nice to get some feedback on how it performs on your device(s).

Very good!!

Very nice navigation mode !
Just maybe it's a bit slow when "falling" from up the stairs

Great job!
Similar model class development, much like threejs, is based on ray-based collision detection. I prefer the physical space of threejs though. It would be great if krpano had its own physics engine.
It's also a good idea to build a simple character controller plug-in based on rays. It's not hard to just build physical properties for the character, just a combination of ray detection and gravity formulas. So character can jump. Maybe add a little bit hang time, double jump, friction, wind. This is closer to a play space.

Hi,

Nice!
Feels a bit like 'child' perspective. Perhaps put the user position a bit higher.. up/down buttons don't work

xonviewchanged ??
where did you get that?

You're always curious about everything.

The theory is simple. Let's say your character is a cube, and you need to shoot rays on 6 faces. So you can figure out how far you are from the objects around you. You can check these values by loop through intervals.

I think this is a good plug-in idea. But I didn't have time to make it. Maybe you can do it.

Hi Eric,

I think you misunderstood me.
I understand how this is done .. but..
I was not aware something like xonviewchanged was possible..
I don't see it anywhere stated in the documentation..

I think it's just a typo. You just have to test it for yourself.

I already did and without the 'x' it doesn't work.

Tuur

remove <events name="transparent_active" keep="true" xonviewchanged="setheight"/>
This code is useless.

Ah yes.. stupid me

Exactly what I was going to write.

Hi,

nice work!

I have recently done something similar - because of the this note/request about using the real floor/ground-height also in VR, I have also added a floor-hit/collision-checking.

With that walking stairs and also jumping (but very simple) will be possible with the default depthmap_navigation.xml in the next release.
