air compass

YASUSHI KUMON · January 16, 2012 at 3:58 PM

I made "air compass."

http://www.dowjow.com/panorama/2012p…aircompass.html

Three "hotspot" is used.
"hlookat" and "vlookat" were called and the position and angle of hotspot are rectified.
I wanted to see this to you and contributed.

Hi Yasushi,

Very very nice!
I would like to see the code of this masterpiece.
I hope you will share it so we all can learn and develope our owns.
I'm also willing to pay some for the opensource version of that code.

Great!

And a cool first post!

That's wonderful. I echo Tuurs requests.

jeromebg · January 19, 2012 at 11:59 PM

Wow that's brilliant !!!
Would you share your code ?

marek_c · January 20, 2012 at 2:30 PM

Great. How is it done?

YASUSHI KUMON · January 21, 2012 at 4:37 AM

Hello, everyone.

I explain using automatic translation.
Moreover, it is not used to the contribution to the forum.
Please understand an unclear thing.

Please refer to a Sorce code.

Code

<!-- events - show a compass -->
<events onviewchange="
  sub(hfbang,0,get(view.hlookat)); 
  set(hotspot[fb].ath,get(view.hlookat));
  set(hotspot[fb].atv,get(view.vlookat)); 
  set(hotspot[fb].rx,get(view.vlookat));
  set(hotspot[fb].ry,get(hfbang));


  sub(hrlang,90,get(view.hlookat)); 
  set(hotspot[rl].ath,get(view.hlookat));
  set(hotspot[rl].atv,get(view.vlookat)); 
  set(hotspot[rl].rx,get(view.vlookat));
  set(hotspot[rl].ry,get(hrlang));


  add(vhoang,-90,get(view.vlookat)); 
  set(hotspot[ho].ath,get(view.hlookat));
  set(hotspot[ho].atv,get(view.vlookat));
  set(hotspot[ho].rx,get(vhoang));


  " />

"air compus" consists of 3 hotspots.
hotspot[fb] is front and back.
hotspot[rl] is right and left.
hotspot[ho] is horizon.

The numerical value of "vlookat" and "hlookat" is called and these positions("atv" and "ath" )are rectified.
Furthermore, direction("rx" and "ry" ) is rectified by called "vlookat" and "hlookat".
These compensation is called by the "onviewchange" event.

It is troublesome to understand a motion, although these are very simple.

Please solve my question.
It is very difficult to rectify the direction of "hotspot[ho]" by hookat.
(The present "hotspot[ho]" does not rotate by hlookat! )

It is difficulty which compounds the angle to which three axes are moved.
I would like to solve it. If it is solvable, the arrow display used, for example with the "google street view" will be attained.

YASUSHI KUMON · February 27, 2012 at 4:18 PM

Horizontal rotation was attained.

Please see.

I am sorry in poor English.
"air compass " came to operate also on iOS！
It can use a "gyro" together.

http://www.dowjow.com/panorama/2012p…aircompass.html

I am going to create the hot spot where it moves in the four directions based on this result.

Thank you Mr.Tuur.

Please wait a little longer about public presentation or sale.

YASUSHI KUMON · March 20, 2012 at 6:35 AM

It completed now.
"aircompass" can be moved simultaneously with a gyroscope.

http://www.dowjow.com/panorama/2012p…aircompass.html

I would like to harness this result in movement of panorama tour.

Works like a charm! Well done, Yasushi

Are there any news on the air compass..? I would love to give it a try.

YASUSHI KUMON · June 3, 2012 at 3:49 PM

Hello

I made the sales page of the ’aircompass xml & images’.

http://www.dowjow.com/panorama/2012/03/aircompass.php

Customize freely and use for making a work.

A setup of an initial angle(heading) and vertical position offset were added．

※Please tell me the opinion about a price or a sales method.

Tuur · June 5, 2012 at 2:08 AM

My first air compass just as a test.

Hi,

i like to use the compass.js plugin together with the aircompass.

i have:

Code

<plugin name="compass" devices="html5"
        url="compass.js"
        onavailability="copy(view.hlookat, heading);"
        onchange=""
        />

in aircompass i changed header to heading..
But i can't get it to work.
Anybody have experience with the compass.js?

here a link
http://virtualtuur.com/krpano/compass/
in air compass i put:

onxmlcomplete="set(header,get(heading));

Thanx
Tuur

Tuur · June 7, 2012 at 4:46 PM

i like it, but i like it react smoother.
i made it not controlable. so it should just point the right way. No users control.

but it is a bit shocky and like resetting every second or so. Would be nice if that was 0.01

so is there a smoother setting for the http://compass.js/gyro?
it's not very accurate.. (?)

my code:

Code

<plugin name="gyroscope" 
        url="gyro.js" 
        keep="true"
        enabled="true"
        camroll="true"
        friction="0.5"
        velastic="0"
		devices="mobile|tablet"
        />




<plugin name="compass" devices="html5"
        url="compass.js"
		enabled="true"
		keep="true"
        onavailability="copy(view.hlookat, heading);"
        onchange="copy(view.hlookat, heading);"
        />

Tuur · June 7, 2012 at 6:25 PM

it works better with:

onchange=""

edit:
mmm.. now it is smoother but less acurate and on iphone not even close.

i put it back as it was
onchange="copy(view.hlookat, heading);"

i have the feeling that it could be a bit better and smoother..
somebody?

It sees by iPad2,iPhone4 or later.

A panorama and air compass turn to an actual direction.

It clicks here .
