Jerome Boccon-Gibod report on FB [font='inherit']that there is a bug in 1.20.9 that disables onover events in VR mode, that means for example his VR thumbnail menu won't work with this version.
I have tested this and can replicate the problem, in the Oculus Quest the Thumbnails do work if clicked on but do not show the progress wheel or work with the Gaze mode.

Good update, it's a pity that the GUI is not developing ...

Looks like CMS4VR is planning depthmap support in version 3.0, I hope they will include the latest developments and what is to come as mentioned below:

"Hi,

here a first support:
krpano 1.20.8 - Textured 3D Models as Depthmap

And the following versions will provide even more (eg more textures per 3d-model, 3d-models as individual objects like hotspots, a mixed / merged-pano- display, multires and so on ...).

Best regards,
Klaus"

Thanks, that all sounds great.

Matterport uses a proprietary camera which photographs and 3d scans the location at the same time.
their tours look great, but there is also not much control.
secondly you totally depend on them as these tours can not run on an own server.
nonetheless i think going fully 3d with UV mapped 3d models is the future.

Wondering if an update to 1.20.8 is due soon and are there any plans to include further support for 3d with UV mapped 3d models for dollhouse views?

Yes UV texture support would be very useful.

I just tried out PanoBlender add-on for the first time with a simple 360 Pano of a square studio space 21ft x 21ft and when I tried to get the floor to fit it came out trapezoid, I could not get it square, as I am new to Blender I would appreciate any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong or is it a problem with my Pano? How can I fix it?

As a Panotour Pro user I would like to enable an Autotour option in my tours when viewed in VR mode in an HMD like the Oculus Quest, is there a plugin or some code I could add to an xml file to do this?

Will the zooming function be updated to work with Oculus browser as this now does not work with Krpano 1.20.7? It still works in Firefox Reality but it is jerky and nausea inducing when you move your head. It would be great if the functionality suggested by the Facebook research project some 3 years ago could be implemented in Krpano.

I just tried your zoom demo in Quest but does not seem to work is this compatible with 1.20.7 ?

Thanks for the heads up about HTTPS that is now fixed. However I find that when using Chrome with the PTP Krpano 1.20.6 tour mentioned above that VR Mode only offers Cardboard or Daydream mobile options all of which show as two views rotated 180 degrees on my standalone Lenovo Mirage Solo HMD, instead of the full VR experience. Is this something that can be fixed in KRPano or is this a Chrome WebXR issue? It used to work perfectly with Chrome before they dropped the WebVR API.

Hi,

please post links for checking.

Here is a sample link http://360fusion.net/Sicily/Sicily.html

I would like to know if this is OK in Oculus at least as I have noticed that other sites like 360cities.net also do not work in Chrome now on Daydream Standalone Lenovo Mirage solo HMD.

I just tried to view my PanoToor Pro VR tours updated to KRPano 1.20.6 viewing on Google Chrome that used to work in my Lenovo Mirage Daydream Headset that used to work and it says device does not support VR, is this related to the WebXR KRpano issue too?

With the last Panotour Pro release (version 2.5.14) Kolor has opened the access to its previously internal template files to make it possible to edit or update them manually. That means some updates to Panotour Pro are still possible.

Quote

I will try to use that new opened access to provide 'update-packages' for Panotour Pro when new krpano versions will be released. This should make it easier to use the latest krpano version in Panotour Pro and maybe also add some fixes to some templates when necessary.

Will there be an update that enables Panotour Pro to work with Krpano 1.2?

see post in Krpano 1.2 https://krpano.com/forum/wbb/inde…79243#post79243

Tom Sharples recently commented on FB about Moire motion on WebVR Krpao sites as follows, I would like to hear you comments on this:

The image quality in Samsung Odyssey beat any other webVR I have seen, especially on Gala360, which is not only sharper but also lacks the "shimmer" (motion moire) that is still evident on the krpano sites.

Brian Richards What do you think causes the motion moire on Krpano sites?

Thomas Sharpless Probably best to ask Klaus at krpano. But I would say generally that it is insufficiently smooth interpolation from pano to screen resolution. This is tricky to get just right, many flat screen pano players used to suffer from shimmer, too. It does not help that webVR APIs do not expose all the capabilities of the rendering hardware. But I am sure it will be fixed in due time.

I have added VR mode to all the Panotour generated tours on my website and have tested them with the Lenovo Mirage Solo Daydream based VR headset. I would like to know what other VR platforms are supported by Krpano WebVR so let me know what VR headsets your tours work with or test your VR headset with any item with a VR mode symbol on my site and let me know whether it works in full VR mode or not. http://360fusion.net

In the WebVR plugin does increasing the oversampling improve quality when the multireslock is set to true?

What resolution is set by multireslock set to true, is there a way to increase the resolution?


I am using PTP with a Daydream Lenovo Mirage Solo VR headset with the lastest Chome browser v.69

I really don't know where you see the error here.

1. Click on the VR mode in the tool bar
2. Then gaze at or click the big yellow I information icon
3. There is no play audio button and so no way for the audio version of the text to be heard in any language in VR Mode

Quote from spacerywirtualne

This of course is not an error. This is how the template was designed. The sound from Amazon Polly obviously works in VR Mode, just add POI audio.

Piotr

Not sure what you mean by 'just add POI audio', I am talking about the example on your website that does not work in VR and cannot as there is no icon on the information window to play audio. Do you have a link to an example that works in VR?

The Amazon Polly Example I tired that did not work using Daydream and a Lenovo Mirage Solo VR Headset was

Can you give an approximation of when livepano will be available Q3, Q4 2018 or 2019?


Is 360 Video and 360 3D Video supported?
