Features

  • Flash and HTML5

    The krpano Panorama Viewer is available as Flash and as HTML5 / Javascript application. Flash is used on the Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) and on Android devices. And HTML5 is used on iPhone and iPad. Both viewers have and use the same interfaces for panos, layouting and external communication.

  • High-performance and high-quality rendering

    The rendering-performance and the image-quality were and are one of the two most important features in the krpano development. Addtionally there are also big development demands to keep the viewer itself as small and efficient as possible.

  • Highly-customizable

    Allmost everything is customable in the krpano viewer. There are settings for everything and adding custom settings or behaviors is possible too. krpano has a fleixable and dynamic xml scripting system which allows realizing own ideas.
    To build user interfaces just include and place your images on the pano screen.
    And for even more and depper customizing or extending the viewer it is possbile to include external Flash or Javascript (HTML5) plugins. See here for the all available krpano Plugins.

  • Wide-range of supported panoramic formats and image file-formats

    Supported panoramic formats by the krpano Flash Panorama Viewer:
    • Cube and Cubestrip Images
    • Spherical Panos (360x180)
    • Cylindrical Panos
    • Partial Spherical, Partial Cylindrical Panos
    • Flat Images
    • Cubical QTVR files (.mov)
    • Zoomify Images
    • Object Movies (=Multi-Frame-Flat-Images)
    Supported input and output image file-formats for the krpano Tools:
    • JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg)
    • TIFF / BigTIFF (*.tif, *.tiff, *.btf, *.tf8, *.bigtiff)
    • Photoshop Document and Photoshop Big Document (*.psd, *.psb)
    • Kolor Raw (*.kro)

  • Multi-Resolution

    Loading very large images, e.g. at Gigapixel size, at once is not possible today - the loading would take ages and the memory need that would be need to display the image would be much to much for a web application. To solve this problem krpano supports a tiled Multi-Resolution loading - the large images will be resampled to several resolution levels and each level will be split up into many small tiles. And these small tiles will be loaded piece by piece and only when needed. This makes is possible to view also very large images quick and fast and with a few memory need.
    Multi-Resolution images can be generated automatically by using the krpano Tools.

  • 3D Projections

    The krpano Flash viewer supports several ways for projecting the pano image on the screen:
    • The normal or also called Rectilinear Projection.
    • Fisheye Projection.
    • Stereographic Fisheye Projection (when looking down also called 'Little Planet View').
    • Pannini Projection (Cylindrical Fisheye / Stereographic).
    • Architectural Projection.
    Every of these projection modes can be adjusted by several parameters in fine steps. Mixing and / or fading between the different projection modes is also possible.
    For example - a pano can start in with a 'Little Planet View' (a Stereographic Fisheye Projection) and then transit smoothly to the normal projection.

  • Virtual Tours / Hotspots / Scripting

    By linking several panos together, e.g. by Hotspots, Maps, Thumbnails, Select Boxes or any other custom actions it is possible to build full featured virtual tours.
    The krpano Tools include MAKE VTOUR droplets for an easy and automatic generation of virtual tours. Just drop all pano images on it and done.

  • Simple and complex usage at the same time

    Use the included MAKE PANO / MAKE VTOUR droplets from the krpano Tools for an easy and fully automatic generation of ready-to-use panos or virtual tours. And for more individual and complex customizing use krpano xml format and / or the Flash or Javascript interfaces.
