I have just returned from nearby Bristol and a visit to Ultraleap HQ where the new Leap 2 was installed on my Pico HMD
The virtual hands provided by the leap are very impressive and I would like to use them to navigate pano tours.
I can see a lot of mails from 2013 about the possibility of a leap plugin. Was it realised & could be updated for the Leap 2?
Many Thanks

Hi
I have two panos from two vpoints at each end of a large room with several obstructions.

By making extruded polygons of each pano I can cover the space - but how do I join them so the user can 'walk' from one to the other?

I've tried making a 'portal' with no success.Thanks in anticipation!
JL

I've added voiceover 'lables' to the panos in my updated virtual gallery, with Kristof's help of course

Almost finished my first vgallery using one of Kristof's templates

This template is excellent, & once a rhythm has been established, a pleasure to work with!
Many thanks!

Congrats on an elegent virtual gallery! well done.
Can you tell us more about the modelling process?
Thanks
JL

Congratulations Klaus on the latest developments.
The new navigation using floor spots is particularly impressive.
I look forward to a guide for non-programmers so that I can say goodbye to the navigation arrows.
Many thanks!

Hi
Further to my portal query, how do I add another model to a project, or must I start again with the component panos?
Thanks!

Hi
Can I use an Everpano portal to link two models of exhibitions held at different times in the same gallery?
I realise I could simply link them but a portal would be more interesting.
Thanks
JL
ps
As a new user struggling with Everpano I could use some simplified step by step tutorials!

Greetings!

In an example from Piotr (thanks!) the type of object is 'ambient'.

What other types are there? Searching gives Voice, Simple & Background but none of these works

Suggestions svp!

Hello

<sound name="s3d_0_sound_8659" audiofile="bell"
I have some sound file examples like the above - thanks Piotr!

to use my own I THINK I need to assign a number as in the example.
I've tried and failed with
<sound name="s3d_2_sound_12345" audiofile="trimstreet"

How should I do it?
Thanks
JL
By using only 4 digits - my sound file now plays - of my 2 examples one has 4 & the other 5...
Anyone know why?

Alexy
Many thanks for the detailed tutorial which I've attempted to use but failed with the following

Safari
Warning: stopsound: no sound with name 'null' found!
ERROR: Soundinterface Load error: loading failed

Firefox:
Warning: stopsound: no sound with name 'null' found!

ERROR: Soundinterface Load error: Failed loading audio file with status: 404

I've checked that everything is in place but cannot find the problem...

Greetings!

As an experienced pano maker who has played with the Google cardboard camera I’d like to be able to reuse conventional equirects in the cardboard viewer - so far I’ve managed to get a ’fake vr’ stereo pano working on the mac screen, but the format of the Android Cardboard camera panos is about 6-1 in contrast to the 2-1 equirect. & I dont know how to proceed. Do I convert the 2 x 1 to cube faces and line 'em up?

Any advice or pointer to a short tutorial would be very welcome!

Hi
Thanks to our pano colleague Toni Garbasso who pointed me towards WebGL, I now have a couple of interactive spheres with panos painted on the outside.

http://john-law.net/projects/spheres/ The Turrell cubic room looks very odd but the Hunstanton beachscape is almost tolerable.

Now I need to find out how to paint a pano inside a sphere...

WebGl is very forbidding for a non-programmer but it looks worth the effort!

JL

Thanks for the swift replies!

Leszek - Your attached image looks similar to my initial equirect made from 4 x10.5mm images on a full-frame. The fisheyes were other ptgui projections, not mirrorballs:

Red - I’ve made 3d objects with modelling software but what I was trying to remember was a manipulable sphere in which the user was at the centre not outside it.
Many thanks for the links to the Three.js plugin and the examples.which look very promising.

Sacha - will try your settings and re-render - but will the result be passive or interactive?

Merry xmas & HNY’ 16 to you all!
JL

Please take a look at some recent work - circular fisheye projections of spherical panoramas:

http://john-law.net/projects

I would like to turn these circular fisheye projections into true interactive spheres that the user can roll with mouse or finger, but dont know how to do so. I’m sure I’ve seen examples of this…

Suggestions gratefully received!

Hi
please take a look at http://john-law.net/projects using your phone/'pad/tablet & see if the CERN panos seem ok and after clicking through to the synchrocyclotron does the animation work ok?

Having got video working quite well on desktop I’m expanding things with settings for mobile devices.
here are the ones I’m now using in html5:

<video autoplay width="1000" height="700" >
<source src="vids/cern-anim.mp4.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="vids/cern-anim.appleuniversal.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="vids/cern-anim.iphone4.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="vids/cern-anim.ipad.mp4" type="video/mp4">

Hi
Would someone remind me how to link from a scene hotspot to a separate pano?
& back again to a different scene would be a bonus, I'm sure I used to be able to do this...

Thanks

JL

Umalo Many Thanks!

Will try your recommendations & report results.
I noticed that K's example also sweeps the title to the top...

Hi
http://john-law.net/projects/map
is a current prototype with a map linked to panos of Paris. Please take a look.
How do I align the map so that it covers the image area with the title below rather than pushing the pano title up and leaving a gap at the top?

it would also be useful to reduce the 'otspot size...
Thanks

JL

is a useful tool that enables you to find lat and long. No doubt there are many others...
