I usually am using multires. Just wanted to try if it makes difference to have those in lower res and normal to speed up the loading. Thanks Klaus!

That's fast. Mine are a lot slower but i suppose it's because my server is actually in US. Is ZOOMBLEND coming to html5? With it i got a bit like that transition effect but still not as good. http://passojadesign.com/wp-content/upl…ramas/movetour/

That would be great feature to have :) I wonder how they load the tour so fast? There is no load time at all when you enter or move from pano to pano. This helps the transition for sure. Can this be done in Krpano?

That is pretty interesting tour. I like the moving animation and arrow placing. As Sacha said the pricing seems fishy tho. I wonder how many tours they do per month to make it worth it. If they are doing 20+ constantly then i can see it being profitable. What goes to the layout it's just pure hard work. Good thing is that they clearly have it so that it's easy to set on new tour. Just adjust arrows and enter infos and floorplan. Everything is possible with KrPano.

They seem to shoot one panorama every 1-2m so in big houses it's a lot of panoramas. Pricing is based on m2 so that gives a hint how they shoot. Picture quality suffers quite a bit and it's not looking that good but overall presentation kinda makes up for it.

As Klaus said, on WP 8.1 the scaling is off so the UI goes over the screen and that's why i can't swipe. But it will be fixed on next release so just hang on! Klaus knows what he is doing :)

Klaus saves the day once more! That is good to hear :) I haven't used stagescale myself so that's why i haven't ran into this issue before.

That problem should not be from this xml-code. So you only use the droplet to create tiles? Do you use anything else from what it creates? Like the tour.xml and html files? Support for these devices should be in the krpano script. Did you use the latest version of KrPano?

Hi Alberto!

On desktop i used Chrome and mozilla and it's pretty much the same on html5 and flash. A bit faster on html5.

On mobile i use Lumia 920 with WP 8.1 and IE 11. It should work fine on it since mine work with no trouble at all. WP 8.1 is pretty much same as android now and hell, my gyro works better than 95% of android phones! Can't really figure out why the touch is not working on it. Tried on my a bit older android tablet and it's working fine there. Did you use KrPano tools to make the tours?

Hi!

The interface looks great and works well on desktop except it's really slow to watch around with mouse for some reason. On mobile i ran into trouble. First and biggest was that i couldn't watch around by swiping. I had to turn on gyro to look around. Second, the interface is overlapping when on vertical mode and some buttons can't be used: http://i.imgur.com/6xUBFXa.png. On some tours with arrows to move around, the arrows are gathered on left top corner http://i.imgur.com/XSsQEey.png. Otherwise good job! Image quality is good and clean :)

Hi!

Check out my combination of virtual panoramas around my town, Mikkeli. I have shot these during the summer at night and day so there are some variation. Places i shot are mostly common places but i have some different views too. Have fun and let me know what you think!

Hi guys!

Been bitten by 3D panorama fly lately and today i finally created a nice menu for my panoramas which work perfectly with Google Cardboard on and you don't need to take them off to move from panorama to another. Look panorama you want to access for 2 seconds and return to menu by looking down for 2 seconds. What you guys think?

Check it out here: http://www.passojadesign.com/wp-content/upl…_test/menu.html

Klaus you are amazing! It worked with first try and i'm now going to rock 3D virtualtours with my cardboard! I will find alternative hotspot in it but main thing is that it works perfectly!

Hi!

I was thinking if anyone could help me out with this. I would need to create a way to move around from panorama to panorama with hotspots with VR-headset without any ways to directly interact with the tour. Best solution i could think of was to look into a hotspot and wait 2 seconds and it would activate loadscene-action. So somehow there would need to be object in middle of the screen to toggle this action. Anyone have done something similar already? Example where i would need such a thing here without hotspots yet: http://www.passojadesign.com/wp-content/upl…est/sbs83d.html Thank you!

Just found this thread. Any updates for IE11?
I need to make it work on windows phone. Currently I have developers wp 8.1 with IE11 and seems gyroscope is not working on panoramas.

I installed the 8.1 for my Lumia 920 and gyroscope is working! At least in my 3D panoramas and it's even a lot better than on android devices. I was blown away how well it worked. But i got more troubles from this update than anything else. I can't use any interaction with my tours anymore! I can't click hotspots, i can't click any of my menu items, nothing. Just look around. It's horrible and i hope there will be a fix for it.

Ok i built one and tried with my phone without qyro and 3D panoramas work amazingly well! I was blown away with it even tho i had to use finger to watch around. This is really worth it to test out. Will do my own test this week and go try with proper phone.

Edit: I shot couple test 3D panoramas yesterday. Seems to work fine but i need to try it out later with proper phone: http://www.passojadesign.com/wp-content/upl…est/sbs23d.html and http://www.passojadesign.com/wp-content/upl…test/sbs3d.html

Hi Klaus!

Yea thought that would be the most suitable for now. I need to build my own and find someone with proper phone since mine is not android but i saw the opportunity in this to easily wow people. That cardboard app does have some kind of panorama viewer inside but it needs to have spherical panoramas inside the device to run them. I will start to look into this more after i find lenses to make it. This could work with any phone with qyro support tho since our panoramas are not platform dependable. Side question, do you have any idea if WP 8.1 will bring any kind of qyro support? There was some kind of improvement of that but couldn't find anything specific.

Thank you for the reply! I will post results when i have them.

Alright guys, i just found out about this Googles jokely created VR system called Google Cardboard https://developers.google.com/cardboard/ (Hands on here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT9vmpE8WcY)

Basically it's a cardboard with 25mm lenses which will hold android phone in front of the lenses to create a virtual headset! I saw this could be great way show virtual tours in a very cost efficient way. Any ideas if it could work?

Cheers,
Jesse

HI guys!

Really long time no post or visit the forums but i'm back! And i'm here to show something i shot some time ago. Nothing really special but wanted to share :)

These are apartments rented by a city Pieksämäki here in Finland. Just regular different sized apartments. Check them out here by clicking those yellow buttons: http://www.passojadesign.com/portfolio/piek…uokra-asuntoja/

What you think? Would you live in these?

Hi Don!

Sorry for really late response. Wasn't visiting the forum for a long time and was demotivated with panoramas but thought i come take a look. the size for panorama picture itself seems to be around 11932 x 5966. It's size is 66,8mb. I use MAKE VTOUR (MULTIRES) droplet to create virtualpanoramas. Hope it helps you :)

Regards,

Thank you :) I will definitely look into this late. Other solution is simply to just limit the zooming at onclick so it will just turn to the hotspot. Need a bit of time to figure out what works the best :)

Cheers!
