OK !!

Installed the latest build of 1.0.8.14 and it works !!

sorry, should have try it right away ...

HI Jaydee,

I purchased your plugin yesterday but I have trouble embedding it my Virtual Tour...

take a look at the screenshot, it explains everything...

strange eh ?? I have version 1.0.8.14 but when I include analytics.xml I get the error : "wrong krpano version, min. krpano 1.0.8.14 needed"

any ideas ?

Tuur,

check out the Erechtheon - N Porch Gigapixel.

I would say resolution is unfortunately also a parameter of the available budget...

imge,

you are right. Mobile compatibilty is really poor...

how would you reproduce the hover effect in an ipad device ?

Elliminate it completely ?

Hi imge,

no at the current stage there are no plans for an iOS version.
The budget was very (very) small and in terms of deployment we stick at the basics, meaning the web...
Maybe we can get additional funding and expand the interoperability. Let's wait and see...

Dear Tuur,

this will be an XML plugin so you'll have the opportunity to study the code and make your own adjustments.

Giving plain (copy-paste), uncommented code isn't something I like to do, cause it's often unusable and surely unprofessional.

Please be patient. The result will make us all happy.

Thanx!

After request from Tuur I started working on a post about the Accordion Menus on the right side of the Virtual Tour.

Wouldn't it be much more efficient if we make an easy customizable plugin out of it ?

I guess it would be much easier to implement, especially for people without strong scripting skills...

What do you think ?

Hi Nupsi,

thank you very much. You get the point ! Interaction Design was given great care at the development. I think technologies are good and fancy, but they also have to be accessible for the user/visitor...

Well, about the Textbox :

This is made using javascript. We used the "jquery UI plugin" for the virtual tour layout. See an example here : http://layout.jquery-dev.net/demos/container.html

I think this framework is very helpful for creating virtual tours. Check it out, it's very customizable!

Best regards
alex

Hey Tuur,

thanks for your kind words!

Stay tuned! Your request is beeing processed!

I'm preparing an extensive post about the two menus on the right side...
It's mainly krpano script with a little straightforward javascript .
I will explain everything you need to implement this fairly easy in your own apps!

Dear all,

we are very pleased to offer you some good news from Greece... In harsh times like this, we try to keep our work going but it isn't always easy...

So finally, after hard and creative work, here it is : The Virtual Tour of the Acropolis of Athens

We worked for about a year at acquiring the images, post-processing and developing the application, communicating with archaeologists and other
stakeholders from the Greek Ministry of Culture & Tourism.
This virtual tour is meant to be an educational tool but also serve scientists working at the restoration of the monuments.

We exploited the krpano viewer to the maximum (more then 10.000 lines of script) and implemented a lot of functionality. Credits to Klaus and the community !!
Read more about the application at the case studies section of our Homepage.

Feel free to ask anything, we will try to give feedback but also share some usable code if there is any interest...

Thank you people,
we hope you like it and learn more about the Acropolis Monuments,

This is too difficult to be done. First you need stereo images to accomplish this and then a degree in photogrammetry

OK this is a very quick app i have created in order to control gigapixel images with krpano and kinect. This is before microsoft released the official driver. I used openCV to detect my fingers. The result is not so good but as i said before this was very quick. I will continue the effort and if i come with something usable i will publish it.

kinect krpano

ok see for yourself Gigapixel images from acropolis . Krpano viewer became a simple gis viewer.
Click on the image to see the X Y coordinates in EGSA 87 (greek grid) projection system.
Maybe the next step would be the digitization using you editor.

Thanks Klaus

Oh it worked now i am preparing for the sample. Thanks klaus you are the best.

So i get only 0 and 1 for the x y values
INFO: viewed bounding box =0/0 - -1/0

Any suggestions?

Ouaou i am really excited. I 'll give a try right a way.

We just developed an android app which uses the accelerometer sensor data to move around the panoramic image. It is a little bit laggy, we are trying to improve the way the panorama moves. Also we have some crashes with gigapixel panoramas but this a flash problem. I 'd like to discuss the best practice in creating a gigapixel panorama for android phones.

krpano android accelerometer

So the following gigapixel image was created from a large Geotiff image. I 'd like to write a plugin in order to display the world coordinates in the player. In order to achieve it i must know the current bounding box. The following equation finds the X and Y coordinate.

xt = Box.Xmin+(mouse.X)*pixelSize;
yt = Box.Ymin+(canvas.height - mouse.Y)*pixelSize;

Assume that i know the pixelSize of the image is it bossible to read the current bounding box in pixels?
This could open new potetionals to krpano player

Thanks Klaus. Congratulations for the new release!!!!!

Tuur thanx for the fast response, parenting doesn' t seem to work for resizing.
(My width & height are also in % values)
could you post an example ?
