Perhaps a workaround found: Just use the second (left hand) controller. At first I tested it only with the right hand controller without having the other one in mind. I thought one controller would be enough for navigating. But the second one will help me further here to change the scene via hotspot.

Hi,

I try to find the reason for a potential bug with Meta Quest 3 VR Headset, Quest browser and my krpano virtual tour. Everything is fine while using the tour. But after I pull the headset off and the device goes to sleep (default 15 sec) I wish to put it later on again and continue navigating further in the tour. After re-entering the tour something prevents triggering hotspots with onclick actions. So I cannot change the scene. Rollover actions within the current scene do work though. I am using the standard Quest 3 controller.

I could reproduce this bug with Klaus’ Demotour Apartment Example (https://krpano.com/releases/1.21/…otour-apartment).

Is this behavior known to someone?

Thanks

Chris

Hallo liebe Kollegen,

im Frühjahr 2023 durfte ich die Hessische Staatskanzlei in Wiesbaden rundum fotografieren und eine virtuelle Tour mit krpano erstellen.

Das Gebäude war früher ein großes, mondänes Kurhotel, das Hotel Rose am Kranzplatz. Schaut mal gerne rein

Sonnige Grüsse aus Köln am Rhein,

Great update, thank you Klaus!

Switched deeplinking to true in the vtourskin.xml and got following error in the console:

WARNING: js() - calling Javascript "history.replaceState(null, document.title, get(adr));" failed: TypeError: Can only call History.replaceState on instances of History [3x]

deeplinking seems to fail here. Tested on Mac OS X 12.6.3, Safari 16.3

Best regards,
Chris

This decoding bug is finally fixed in Safari 15.4 (beta) and macOS Catalina. Took a while …

Good to hear. I'm using macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and iOS 15.1 with iPhone 6s. Both Safari apps do not play the sound in the krpano examples.

Hi,

just for your information …

there is a Mac/iOS Safari 15.1 bug with the decoding of audio data. krpano sends this:

ERROR: Soundinterface Load Error: Decoding audio data failed.

You may reproduce that here:
https://krpano.com/releases/1.20.…groundsound.xml

No issue with Chrome. Hope Apple fixes that soon.

Hi Klaus,
thank you very much for the hint. The direct link as an alternative <a href="pdf/Einweisung.pdf" target="_blank"> works perfect for me.
Best regards,
Chris

Hi all,

I have this data container with simple HTML inside and display a textbox as a layer element and attribute html="data:einweis"

<data name="einweis"><![CDATA[ <a href="event:openurl('pdf/Einweisung.pdf');">Einweisungsformular</a> ]]></data>

This PDF is expected to be opened in a new tab after touching the Text-Hyperlink. Works fine so far, but strange behaviour with iPad Safari and iOS 14 and 15. Here, *two* tabs with the same PDF are always opened. Why two ? An old iPad with iOS 9 behaves as expected as well as on desktop. Usage of newest krpano version and the same with 1.20.9.

Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks.

Chris

Hi,

my distorted hotspot is not blending into the new scene with krpano 1.20.8 /1.20.9 in WebVR. The hotspot image disappears shortly before blending into the new scene. Tested it with Oculus Go browser. On desktop / Safari with simulated WebVR mode the same. I am using the distorted hotspot to open a door in a scene. Shutting it again before changing the scene obviously doesn't make sense.

Here an example with modified krpano demotour , please activate VR mode and gaze at hand icon and then at arrow in the door hotspot image

Any ideas?

Chris

Hi,

my distorted hotspot is not blending into the new scene with krpano 1.20.8 and Oculus Go Browser. The hotspot disappears shortly before blending into the new scene. On desktop no problem. I am also using this nice feature, to open a door in a scene. Shutting it again before changing the scene obviously doesn't make sense.
Is this a known problem?

Hi,

ein Workaround wäre vielleicht eine Action

<action name="loadingtext">  set(layer[skin_loadingtext].html, get(scene[get(xml.scene)].title)) );  </action>

und Aufruf dieser bei jeder scene:

onstart="loadingtext();"

Grüsse,
Chris

Could narrow it down to the initialization of the HTML5-VR Audio Plugin:

<include url="%FIRSTXML%/html5sound/xmls/init.xml" />
<include url="%FIRSTXML%/html5sound/gui/xmls/init.xml" />

Without those lines of code the blend of two scenes with linkedscene_lookat attributes is fine. Have to ask Spacery Wirtualne.

Chris

Hi there,

I will try to explain my issue in English: The very helpful linkedscene_lookat attribute of the <hotspot> element with the "skin_hotspotstyle" of the MAKE VTOUR generated tour.xml shows first an initial view (predefined scene startup view) for a second and then the desired angle. This flashing is a bit irritating. I found out that changing the skin_settings to loadscene_blend="NOBLEND" instead of the default OPENBLEND(0.5, 0.0, 0.75, 0, linear) works fine without this strange view change. My testing system is MacOS X 10.9.5., newest Safari and Chrome. Issue occurs on iOS too. Might this be graphic card related?
Could anyone reproduce this or even has a workaround?

Thank you and best regards,
Chris

Hi,

ich habe das linkedscene_lookat Attribut im Pfeil-Hotspot ausprobiert, um individuelle Startansichten nach Hotspot-Klick zu bekommen. Die gewünschte Ansicht im neuen Panorama stellt sich aber erst ein, nachdem nochmal kurz die Initial-Winkel des <view>-Elements innerhalb der <scene> angezeigt werden. Kann ich das irgendwie verhindern?

Vielen Dank und Grüsse,
Chris

Quote from klaus.krpano

Add depth="off" to the .

Great! Thank you, Klaus. Works.
All the best for 2017!
Chris

Hi there,


I was successful and very happy with Klaus' action "calc_pos_from_hfov_yaw_pitch_roll" on desktop and iOS inserting an image hotspot accurately. But switching to WebVR I recognized a slight horizontal offset of some pixel of that hotspot image. Is this a known issue? Any workaround?


Best regards,
Chris

Vielen Dank!
Mit <hotspot> anstatt <layer> funktioniert es jetzt.

Schöne Grüsse,
Chris

Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte eine Hotspot-Grafik im WebVR-Modus darstellen und bei Aktivierung durch den Kreuz-Cursor einen anderen Layer damit aufrufen. Geht das im Prinzip? Muss ich die WebVR-Action vr_auto_click() bei hotspot onover dafür aufrufen?

Bei meinem XMl-Code werden die Hotspots nach VR-Aktivierung über das vtourskin-Interface gar nicht mehr dargestellt.

Folgender Code funktioniert im Desktop-Modus, aber nicht in VR:

<hotspot name="spot1" url="png/frost-button-test.png" onover="vr_auto_click();"  onout="SetImageInVisible('text1');" onclick="SetImageVisible('text1');" ath="145" atv="6.6" distorted="true" rx="0" ry="0" rz="0.0" width="71" height="75" scale="1"/> 
<layer name="text1" parent="hotspot[spot1]" align="rightbottom" x="-80" y="-80" url="png/frost-text-test.png" alpha="0"/>	
<action name="SetImageVisible">set(layer[%1].alpha,100);</action>
<action name="SetImageInVisible">set(layer[%1].alpha,0);</action>

Freue mich über Antworten und Hinweise.
Beste Grüsse,
Chris

thanks Klaus! I love MAKE VTOUR.
