Hi,
I'd like to use Google Maps as a scene in a virtual tour - where I could specify a location (GPS coordinates?) and be able to look around standing in that spot as if in a panorama image - anyone konw of a way to do something like this ? I don't need to move around so if there was some way to extract a pano from a Map view (NOT StreetView) that would solve my needs....
Anyone have any suggestions ?
Kind regards,

Sorry, but then more information are required. Maybe they get hidden somewhere...
You can check it out at http://www.oxivisuals.no/clients/obos/roakollen/moviemask/
the 4 XML files are all located at the root, all pano images are in the pano folder.
XML filenames: main.xml, a7002.xml, c5006.xml and c8001.xml
The action changeappt() in main.xml handles the loading, and is called from each of the 3 hotspots in the main tour. Click on the MovieMask icon in the toolbar and you'll see I've added a green button between the LEFT/RIGHT arrows - this takes you back to the main scene again - using changeappt.
If you go into e.g. C5006, then back, and then into c5006 again, you'll see that the hotspots dissappear the second time. However, when going back to the main scene, the hotspots are present (the 3 blue frames around each apartment image).
Hi,
what flags do you use?
Best regards,
Klaus
Think I've tried them all - the only one that I CAN'T use is IGNOREKEEP as it then goes out of VR mode....besides I don't have keep="true" on the hotspots themselves...
HI,
I've got 4 tours that are linked together; main.xml, a7002.xml, c5006.xml and c8001.xml. Main links to each of the 3 other XML's, and they all link back to main.
I move back/forth between the various tours using loadpanoscene - and so far so good. The problem is that the hotspots defined in the XML files (the 3 "children") only works the first time - i.e. I go from main.xml to one of the 3 and it works, then I go back to main.xml and into e.g. the same tour (doesn't matter which I choose) - and when I get there the hotspots that used to be present are no longer visible. They are apparently there, because if I loop through the hotspot array, they exist, are enabled, visible and have alpha=1.
I have tried sooo many things, but I can't for the life of me understand why this doesn't work.
Before going into all the minute details of this - should this work ?
Was Polygonal hotspots support for VR ever added ?
I need to build a interactive map that works in VR to link to various other locations in the tour - imagemap style - but can't for the life of me figure out how to do that with no polygonal hotspots....
Is it somehow possible to get the same behaviour like the vr_cursor with autoclick without switching to VR mode ?
We have a client who want's to be able to use gyro without having to physically click on the screen to activate a hotspot - in other words exactly same behaviour as VR, but not split-screen with the need to use VR-glasses/cardboard.
Is this possible at all, without extensive custom coding ?
Found this by googling:
51Degrees has detected User-Agents for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ and we've looked into the hardware model numbers in greater detail to discover that the SM-G950U, SM-G950F and SM-G950W relate to the Galaxy S8 whilst SM-G955U, SM-G955F and SM-G955W relate to the Galaxy S8+. With Samsung devices the last letter of the model number usually indicates to what market or mobile carrier the device belongs to. The 'F' in the models SM-G950F and SM-G955F mean they represent the international versions of the Galaxy S8/S8+. The 'U' and 'W' markers represent models introduced to the Asian markets.
S8 has a 5,8" screen and the S8+ has a 6,2" screen....
Can you provide information about your Samsung Galaxy S8+, then I can try adding it?
The user-agent and the real screen-sizes would be required to be know. According to a web-research the device name should be 'G955F' but seeing real and verified data would be better of course.
How do I go about figuring out these details ? Isn't it very strange that the flagship phone from samsung isn't allready in this database ?
Btw - what do you mean with 'Even with the mobilevr_database_url defined, nothing seems to change'?
I just tried explicitly adding the attribute - didn't realize it defaulted to it :)
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (along with, I believe, many others). For some reason, it doesn't work with VR - and when I go into setup, it says Device Unkown and Screensize 5.0 inch. Even with the mobilevr_database_url defined, nothing seems to change.
I am testing using the testingserver - I don't know if there is any reason to believe it would behave differently from a "real" webserver....?
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and I can't find any way of actually getting it to work with Google Cardboard and Krpano :(
When I look at the VR Settings, it says "Device: Unknown" and "screensize 5.0 inch" - however, the S8+ has a 6,2" screen - I'm guessing either Krpano does something wrong, or this screensize is not supported by Google Cardboard - any input would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: I'm using v1.19-pr9
I just wanted to say merry christmas to everyone, and showcase the christmas card our 3D studio sent out to all our clients:
The button says: "See our christmas card in VR".
We sent it out to all our clients , and 50% of them clicked and viewed it within the first hour after receiving it. This response rate is phenomenal for any mass mail - the interest for VR content is huge, and KRPano has helped us a lot with positioning us as a leading VR content provider in our market - so thanks a lot to Klaus and this community!
Merry christmas everyone - and a happy new year!
Sincerely,

I ended up with understanding how to use the calc function and solved it like this:
videourl="calc:_video_prefix + videos[get(xml.scene)].file + '.mp4|' + _video_prefix + videos[get(xml.scene)].file + '.webm'"I had an array that contained the videofilenames, using the current locations name as index.
<videos name="scene_stue" file="stue"/><videos name="scene_hall" file="hall"/><videos name="scene_ute" file="ute"/>Perhaps it could be helpfull for someone else sometime!
For some reason it seems iOS is unable to read a pano-video file with 3840x1920 pixels. I just get loading failed. It works fine on desktops and Android. So I figure I need to have a lower resolution file for iOS devices.
While I have seen the panovideo example, and how it is done there, I need to do it a little differently (for a multitude of reasons). So I am thinking that I wanted to set a filename prefix to a variable, and prefix all the video-filenames with that prefix. The prefix is set like this:
if(device.ios, set(_video_prefix,"iOS_"); , set(_video_prefix,""););So far so good.
Now, I want to use the _video_prefix in a similar fashion as the %CURRENTDIR% variable, so that I could specify something like this:
plugin[video].playvideo("%_video_prefix%myfilename.mp4|%_video_prefix%myfilename.webm");Is there some way of doing this?
K thanks, I'll try some other way
Any chance you have figured out a way to do this ?
I'm trying to use a video as a transition from one pano to the next, but having to press play is really breaking the experience....
Hi, these are rendered at 12000 pxls... http://www.poppr.be/virtualtour/io…vanishingpoint/
Yvan.
Thanks for the info! They look really nice! And kudos for the cool UI - it works really well!
This example is an answer to your question https://krpano.com/petapixel/
Thanks - I'll check it out!
Is there a maximum resolution for the pano images used in a VTOUR multi resolution created with KRPano ?
We render 8000x4000 in 3DStudio MAX, but if this is not necessary, we don't want to waste rendertime.
I notice that 360 video now works in VR on my Android phone - are there any issues on iOS I need to be aware of?
Does anyone have any recomendations for the resolution of the file - so it looks good in VR mode using Google Cardboard ?
We will render it in 3DSMAX so we can basically set any framesize we want - so suggestions are welcome! I'm guessing performance will be impacted depending on the size, so perhaps Klaus can weigh in on this ?

Thanks! That solved it!
Hi,
I am experiencing a very weird behaviour. I am hosting a virtual tour on our server, and a client uses iframe to embed it on their site. For users with Firefox, the page with the iframe scrolls down to just above the iframe when the page is loaded. In Chrome and Safari this does not happen, and the page starts at the top - where it should.
I have no idea why this is happening - it does not happen with other iframe content - only krpano.
Any idea ?
