We just released the first beta of Pano2VR 8.

The major new feature is 3d Model and Gaussian Splats support, but we also made numerous changes under the hood.

Please check out the blog post and the Pano2VR 8 page.

Here you go: https://ggnome.com/pano2vr8/

Pano2VR only uses the absolute path if the relative path would contain at least one "../../", so ../ should not get converted. We do this to avoid too complex paths, but "one level up" is considered ok.

Hi, When you embed a YouTube video into a Pano2VR project how can you ensure no YouTube ads appear?

You can't as this is how YouTube makes money. If there would be a way, everyone would (ab-)use it. Only if the person, that is watching has a YouTube Premium plan, you see the videos without ads ...

This sounds odd. Maybe a video or image has a file name with special (non ASCII) characters?

If this doesn't help, could you please send us the package to support@ggnome.com, and we will have a look.

Most of this details I understand and have tested. For example WebP saves for me around 10%, pi takes a huge impact with larger size.

But the open and most important question is:

When a patch do have a higer resolution than the panorama --> does this have a significant impact on the output ...

These hands come from Pano2VR and are just generated geometry. There is currently no way to use the Meta/OS hands inside WebXR directly, but we plan to have a more natural looking hand model in Pano2VR 8.

This is now avialable in 7.1.4. The call is:

Hello Kai,

we can not give the DIVs unique IDs in a simple way, as we have elements the multiply Skin elements, like (nested) cloners and hotspot templates,... and you can even have multiple project on the same page.

However you can assign your own classes to skin elements or use CSS to address ...

Not yet, but I will add this as a feature request.

Hi,

The skin variables don't work (yet) in the HTML template, but you can use the user data fields and the project user data placeholders.

Hello Kai,

you can create a .ggt file in your project directory, and this way your will get and additional entry in th e html templates that starts with the placeholder "$d/". So the logic is similar to skins.

Hi Jeff,

We have fixed this bug in Pano2VR 7.1.2.

You can savely ignore this warning. This would only be relevant, if you use WebXR. The latest version optimizes the output by skipping the WebXR folder, and removing three.js if it is not needed.

We aleady found a solution for this problem, and 7.1.1 with the fix will be released soon.
