Creating a virtual tour of our studios and have some questions



  • I'm from a photographic/technology company who specialize in web
    imaging. We are currently re-vamping our website and I'm researching
    the possibility of having a Virtual Tour of our photographic studios
    that provides high visual impact and an engaging source of information.
    Krpano seems like a great tool for creating a customizable experience
    but I'd like to find out if my goals are achievable.

    Here are some of our ideas:

    Dragging across the panorama swivels you round to 5 areas of the room instead of free dragging.
    These areas are specific points of interest as they showcase our equipment.
    We would like these to be animated hotspots similar to his example -

    https://krpano.com/examples/116/e…activearea.html

    When the mouse cursor hovers over a hot
    spot, the object (A piece of photographic equipment) is highlighted
    with a white outline indicating more information is available.
    When selecting the hotspot we would like a video or interactive image to appear.
    This is an example of the type of interactive image we would like -(http://www.spinme.co.uk/clients/website/sportssunglasses.htm).

    We would need the virtual tour to be available to view on iPhone and tablet.


    Is what I have described possible and does anyone have any guesses to roughly how much working time would his take?

    Also are there going to be any issues with the hotspots and extra add-ons?
    As we need to be cross platform to match our website, we need to make
    sure the HTML 5 viewer is suitable and, by the looks of things certain
    platforms have issues with loading the viewer https://krpano.com/docu/html5/

    There's also a note about it requiring cubic images for it to work on
    HTML5. Is this correct?

    I would really appreciate your input and opinions.


    Thank you

    Alex

  • Hi,
    There is at least two options for solving the problem!
    First, use only tools from krpano - MAKE PANO for 360° panoramas + MAKE OBJECT for rotating objects.
    Second, use krpano tools for 360° panoramas and add link on hotspot for call JS and open pop-up windows with any possible external object player for rotating objects.
    In any case, support for HTML5 is almost good everywhere supported! *wink*

    Panoreal — to make and see this wonderful world! *whistling*

    Arsdezi, thank you I prefer the first option. It simplifies it I think plus it's nicer with no pop-up windows. What would you suggest the first step I should take in the procedure of this?


    Hi!
    perhaps this will be useful OBJECT PANORAMA for HTML5

    Andrey, thanks for your input and for sharing the code for this in the link you provided. It's very useful and looks great. Did you create the images of the car yourself?
