  • Returning to the Leap:

    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

  • joining two pano spaces in Everpano

    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!

  • portals in everpano 3D 1.4.1

    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

    ps
    As a new user struggling with Everpano I could use some simplified step by step tutorials!

  • sound numbers

    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?

  • Example-Tutorial -- Play different music inside different panos

    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...

  • Another Cardboard Question

    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!

  • interactive spheres

    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!

  • interactive spheres

    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!

  • interactive spheres

    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!

  • html5 video formats

    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">
    <source src="vids/cern-anim.large720p.mp4" type="video/mp4">
    <source src="vids/cern-anim.webmhd.webm" type="video/webm">
    Your browser does not support the video tag.

    Many thanks
