Hi,
we are currently developing a tour which heavily utilizes 360° videos. The tour itself consists of image panos and certain hotspots activate the 360° videos. We noticed that when the bandwidth is very low (about <4Mbit) the video starts playing (and therefore the audio) but the screen stays black. The lower the bandwidth the longer it takes for the image to be displayed. With extremely slow internet it can take up to 15 seconds (most of the videos are about 20 seconds long).

Video resolution: 5376x2688 (GoPro Max)Video Codec: H.264 (mp4) and VP9 (webm)Bitrate: ~10Mbit
The problem occurs on MacOS and Windows 10, in both Firefox and Chrome. It can be reproduced by limiting the bandwidth in the developer console. Is there a way to fix this problem without reducing the video resolution or the bitrate?

there no way that you can fix this without reducing the bitrate/resolution of the video unless you can preload the videos
then again it could be your hardware struggling to decode the video

here is a guide for video resolution for common VR hardware:

Any help would be appreciated!

did you try this page https://krpano.com/buy/upgrade/ ?

another oneshot camera is the Xiaomi Mi Sphere
has RAW, HDR and unstiched modes

Quote from klaus.krpano

The core krpano tools - yes, that would be already possible and just a simple recompile, but I have no Linux ARM tests systems yet...
What would be the usage case?
Is there a real demand?

I am looking at building a Raspberry Pi cluster

I know that various different cloud compute / hosting companies that are adding ARM to their options like:

• Raspberry Pi VPN
• AWS Graviton Processor

you always out do yourself

Could Linux arm be supported in the future?

Saw this thread while browsing, this reply may help someone in the future

Oculus has posted an article on encoding video for the oculus go and Headjack has an article on video encoding for different VR hardware

they both use ffmpeg to encode the videos

the final option if you don't want to use everpano is photogrammetry software.

witch is the path I'm taking for my projects

Is there a tutorial video on this topic? Which 3D software can it be done with?

blender tutorials
in theory this can be done with sketchup

Quote from yasarcan

if you can

voww. I did not know this feature. It doesn't make much sense to buy everpano. If I can do the example below with krpano 1.2, that's enough for me.
Thank you very much

https://krpano.com/releases/1.20.…xtured/test.xml

Can you use a 3D modelling program??

Quote from yasarcan

Thank you very much for your answers.

I will shoot an exhibition like in the photo. The Custumer wants to navigate the boards as if he were walking. I can do this with everpano, but I'm not sure if I can only do it using krpano1.20?

if you can create the depth maps yourself then everpano is not needed as it is standard feature of krpano

krpano include a free version of Navigator Plugin

Quote from yasarcan

hello.
I have krpano old license. I can give 35 euros and upgrade to the new version.
but I am unsure whether to buy everpano?
I downloaded the trial version of Everpano and tried it. I'm not sure if it's a software that deserves my money?

What are you thinking. Should I buy both krpano update and everpano for 109 euro?

It depends on what your ultimate goal is?

put your money down on krpano now and buy everpano later if you think it worth it

How do I make a sphere image a texture? If you have a tutorial, can you share it?

Did you see this in the first post?

Quote from klaus.krpano

For making such textured 3D-models the open source 3D creation software blender together with the PanoCamAdder Add-on from Michael Adam could be used. Here a tutoria.

WOW!!

• for the slider, you'll need to to create a sprite sheet of all the images
  
• use the videointerface.xml theme from videopano example, but it will need to be adapted.
  

look at video timeline thumbnail for ideas

sorry I am unable to help much more, I am following this as I need to implement this in my project also

what you look for is 3D reconstruction, here is a list of software

Quote from indexofrefraction

reconstructing doesnt help without krpano supporting mapped 3d models ;)

Klaus Could add this Efficient View-Dependent Image-Based Rendering with Projective Texture-Mapping to krpano, but I don't know where Klaus is drawing the line.

Quote from indexofrefraction

this needs an uv-mapped 3d (depthmap) model

Quote from indexofrefraction

you would need the exact coordinates/rotations of multiple panoramas
then calculate a texture for the 3d model

Quote from indexofrefraction

it was discussed a while ago...
but atm it is unknown if it will come

what you look for is 3D reconstruction, here is a list of software

Have you can contacted Wayne Jewell?

This could be a subscription option for commercial users of krpano

While the hobbyist can still do the one-off payment (upgrade extra) with community support

Klaus could run the git/issue tracking system on his own server (here) see https://gitea.com/

He may already run a git server inhouse

the only thing I can see it being usefully is for a beta testing program or for bleeding-edge software, but Klaus has never had a closed beta testing program to my knowledge

1Ghz or faster CPU
512Mbytes or more of RAM
