Done! ... complex tour project for tourism (EU-LEADER-project) "Bucklige Welt" online; 170 panos total

  • We could now finish the ´parent´ tour for the so called "Bucklige Welt" (EU-LEADER-Project), a tourism region in southern part of Lower Austria. 10 separat tours for villages in this region have already been finished before.

    The main tour:

    http://buckligewelt.panaustria.at

    for short:

    • 115 panos (so we used comboboxes here instead of thumbs...)
    • text for every scene; some with hotlinks to other targets
    • big scene-previews (overing; pre-click)
    • animated hotspots with previews (pre-click) und commented pictures
    • event hotspots to catch (red flying butterfly)
    • google-map with different symbols showing 2 categories of scenes
    • google-map has selectable transparece and a hold-/nohold function (for what happens after spot-clicks)
    • compass with ability to north the pano (click at compass)
    • tour-selector (...the mountains on the ground) to switch over to a village tour
    • "Info Off"-function (key/button i) for switchin off / on all infos & navigation (so the visitor may watch the pano pure...)
    • built in picture gallery

    all panos in between 32 and 90 MPix; 6 Panos have 400-500Mpix, one is 1.3GPix big.

    some scenes have panning sound


    the (additionally) village tours:


    all other tours of this project were done 2009 using
    krpano and additional actionscript-plugins.

  • NICE!!!!
    Congratulations

    Very nice!!

    Will you give a hint on the compass? how you get it half transparent and so??

  • Thanx for your congs;

    The thing with the compass...
    ... is a little bit tricky:

    1) there is a pane "cPane" that holds all components and it is their parent of course

    2) the white compass shade (behind the letters) "compassRing" is nonrotating but needs to be masked out (mask="compassMask")

    3) the letters itself (rotating with viewchange) need to be masked too
    (mask="compassMask1"); it is the same mask as above but one plugin used
    for masking only can mask ONE other plugin so you have to gen a 2nd
    plugin with the same url to mask sth else with the same graf mask...

    4) to "north" the view i made an action name="norden"; it is not
    optimized (even bugy) - because if you turn around twice the pano and
    the click to "north" it also turns back twice(!) - i know this could be
    solved using the "mod(..)"-function, but time...

    5) to get the compass follow the view you of course have to define a ´
    onviewchange="viewchange()" ´ somewhere in your events-node and then
    have a corresponding action as "viewchange" below. Not all the tours in
    this project do have a compass but they do use the same code modules,
    so i asked for existance of the compass within this action...

    6) last but NOT LEAST i had to initiate the compass (set the
    initrotate of the plugin compass) with an action that fires for every
    scene-load, corresponding to its view and the distance (degrees) to the
    north; therefore (for 115 panos this was work too) i had to measure
    this distance and store it somewhere...

    Hope it helps!
