Displaying panoramas on the WEB
Nov 30, 2017 18:23:13 #
Beside making panoramas one has to display them and making the viewer download hundred of GB for a single image is not a good idea.
Programs like PANO2VR by Garden Gnome and zoomify solve the issues by creating smaller tiles that are uploaded as needed depending on the viewer actions. Google cutter also does the same thing but this program has not been suported or upgraded for a long time (2014)... An orphan like many other things Google started and then stopped for whatever reason.
Note that the tiling system is a great way to place sensitive images on the way and prevent casual download of your work.
Instead of listing all the stuff these programs do I will mention only the features that interested me.
Tiling. Also considered as an anti thief measure.
Hot spot, this allows to reach another pano or something entirely.
Ability to add a sound track.
There a probem thought... You need your own web site and (s)FTP in order to load your image. This does not work with image banks and the like.
If anyone uses any of these two software titles (or something else) can you comment and give your take on what you use?
