360 VR questions
-
Slightly off topic, Pixero, which engine did you use to render those scenes? They are really nicely done!
-
Thea. I used the TR 1 engine. It was before Presto was introduced.
-
I am also working on a project using Pano2VR and I am curious as to what resolution you render your final at and what settings you use in Pano2VR so that it loads so quickly but at such a sharp quality. Can you share a screenshot?

As a rule of thumb, if you are rendering a 360 panorama, you'll want double the maximum height resolution it will be viewed at. So if you plan on viewing in a window of height 1000 pixels, the pano will need to be ~2000 high (and therefore 4000 wide).

I rendered 6000x3000 pixels since you only see a small bit of the pano at a time.
The final size of the sides in the pano cube was 1500 pixels. -
Pixero, can you show us a screenshot of your Pano2VR Settings?

Sorry, but I'm swamped with work at the moment and won't have time to dig it out from backup.

Spent some time knocking up a plugin-free panorama viewer using CSS3 (or WebGL if supported).
Seems to work nicely on iPad etc. Let me know if you find a browser that doesn't work.

That's awesome, Adam...!
I've tested it on Firefox 29.0.1 and IE 11 v. 11.0.9600.17107 - without any issues...
So... How does this work from LightUp...?

Personally I'd change the swipe direction.
I agree... Not that it matters that much - it just would make more sense...

I think it is fine.
If anything an option to choose. -

LightUp can output a skybox for the current view position which is directly compatible with this (test) viewer.
ie it can render 6 images ending in "_up", "_dn" etc. If you put them on a website you may be able to do:http://light-up.co.uk/pano_test.html?p=URL_OF_YOUR_SKYBOXI say "may" because modern browsers are tediously picky about cross-site loading of resources.
Lastly, take all your points about swipe preferences. The idea would be to turn SketchUp Scenes into hotspots - thats the weird busy icon on the floor if you're using CSS3D rendering.
EDIT: I've swapped swipe direction around.

I will investigate Google+ as I'm sure they have a way.
Just stumbled today over that interessting thread!
In Google+ it is possible to upload an pano directly. You have to set the file with the geodata and google+ will find out that it is a pano and will put it to its own viewer.
here's my example:
