Hi,
No harm in asking so just throwing the question out there to see what the response is. I know others are thinking about it
Some people here have managed to get some sort of app going with Krpano but I’ve never seen a demo plus not sure if it’s just for iOS or Android.
To make some real money out of virtual tours and not just scrape by with the odd job here and there then It seems like a no brainer to get Krpano up and running inside apps. The app also has to work in both iOS and Android to make it popular so none of this iPad only or Flash only solution as it's a waste of everyone's time and won't cut it in the professional world.
At first I thought it was a download size issue as a tour with many scenes soon adds up in mb with all the image tiles or cube faces but then quite
recently I installed the free Guggenheim app which was a whopping 135mb but well worth it. There’s actually additional download content within the app so the total download size is probably well over 200mb.
Size isn’t the issue then because mobile tiles can be used instead of multires plus to get something that offers as much media as the Guggenheim app
you’d never get it under 100mb.
So perhaps it’s a coding issue and you have to be some sort of xml / Javascript wizard to work out the paths to folders, plugins and swf files? That’s the only issue I can think of that's holding everyone back.
Looking at software that build apps, there’s mainly the monthly fee versions which to me is dead money. I know a person can build an app interface in Flash using the regular timeline and layers, movie clips etc. and then exports it to iOS and Android with very little problems. He obviously had to purchase the Adobe Flash software (or get sucked into the dreaded CC versions) but at least you have it there installed on your computer and you know the software will remain alive for many years to come with it being Adobe.
If someone here has mastered the art of adding Krpano tours inside an app then good on you. How about sharing the process? You could quite easily charge us for the knowledge and most of us will gladly pay.
Keep these 360’s that we all enjoy so much alive and in demand because at the moment we're missing out on a massive market.
Thanks for your time,
Andrew
