Hello,
before we adapted the new stereographic HMD supported VR panoramas, we already worked with immersive 360 degree scenes, which could be viewed on the PC screen, on several projects.
We used different authoring software to create interactive content, which offered a lot of options and features to build your vr scene. You could e.g. define starting positions within the panorama dependant on the link (and therefore your last viewing direction...) you used to access the panorama, you could define buttons within the panorama to display certain information , you could blend in an floor plan showing your current position and viewing direction, you had an user friendly WYSIWYG graphical interface...
here is a very short (and obviously not the prettiest ...) example we did years ago, which illustrates a few things
www.v-cube.de/amma -> double click in the panorama for fullsceen
Is there any plan to develop such a thing or are there maybe 3rd party products which could be used to build VR scenes in a more convenient way?
thanks for any feedback
Andreas
