How to test krpano for iphone/ipad in PC?

peterggg · August 8, 2010 at 9:26 PM

Hi, I found krpano on google and I wanted to test how it works on iphone but I dont own an iphone or ipad, I always used mobione test center (from http://www.genuitec.com/mobile/) for developing websites for iphone, but when I try to open the krpano examples on mobione I only get a plain image. Is there any another iphone/ipad simulator for pc that will work for testing krpano (and i mean a real simulator not one that uses flash player)?

You can download Safari navigator for PC, then under the Developer option change the default user-agent to the iPad or iPhone user-agent.

No, because that open the krpano examples as if it was a normal pc browser, its really a normal page with an iframe and some images to make it look like an iphone.

No software you can use to test panorama in pc, but imobione is the best solution

I don`t understand your problem. Exactly, in my case, if I try the pano
http://www.panorama360.es/europa/spain/E…Formentera.html
with Safari 5.0, it's opened with flash, (Default user-agent). Then I select at the Development menu to change the user-agent to "Mobile Safari 3.2 -iPad" and then, the pano is automatically reloaded without flash.
More, ...you can inspect it with Safari Developer tools to see that it's true.

With panorama360 it doesn't load flash but it doesn't work neither, it shows just a plain image that can be moved around, here's a screenshot of how it looks:

Hi,

is this the latest Safari 5?
if yes, I think the used hardware or windows version or graphic driver is not capable for the 3D CSS...

It's the latest, downloaded from the official site a few weeks ago. Software is WinXP running in a virtual machine (virtualbox) on a linux host. The graphic card is a gt8600, but i think virtualbox uses custom drivers for the video, maybe thats the problem.
