Pano2VR

Every so often I like to test who's the market for making VRs on a mac. I started "playing" with this using the good old Apple QTVR. Back then it was more a toy project of mine, since no one on "the other" platform could see or use the those VRs... but man, it was a joy to make them. Fast forward a dozen of years and another dozen apps (Cubic connect, Cubic maker, VR Worxs, etc) and even with the Quicktime plug-in having an almost decent market share on Windows (mainly thanks to iTunes) I still got some complains that having the VR tours dependent of such an "unknown" plug-in wasn't a good idea and somehow I just couldn't find myself using java to do things exactly how I wanted them to work. Enter Pano2VR: Pano2VR is pretty much all that I wanted on a VR app. (Well, it would be EVERYTHING if it could do the stiching á la PTGUI or Huggin.) So, what is that I like so much? Simple, It can easily: • convert the panoramas onto other formats (great to do some late retouch on photoshop); • create hotspots to connect those dozens or defines panoramas; • add my skins on the top of the tour (I only need to add on the first panorama, since the others can use the skin form there... now that's what I call making my life easier); • add a (by now standard) pop-up map to show were on the tour we are; • even the "radar" option is usefull sometimes, when I need the end user to know were he's facing to; • connect specific areas to specific sounds, making them higher / lower depending of the distance of that place; And finally export everything as a standard flash (.swf) file. No, I'm in no ware related with this company. I'm just a happy user who bought a license and believes that good things should be praised as much as bad things should be bashed. Pedro Fardilha

Really, really best simple and effective soft to make quickly a QTVR or flash panorma and integrate it in your website or work. Developper very responsive to add functions or catch a small disfunction. More intuitive than Stitcher or The VR Worx....but this soft don't stitch the images, you have to do it before with for exemple (the best for me) autopano pro...http://www.autopano.net Have a try... a must for this kind of work.
