[req] Pano2VR output for iPod

henri_smeets · Wed Apr 16, 2008 11:42 pm

For about a month now there has been a panorama viewer for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I use my iPhone regularly for displaying my panos to clients, with a lot of succes!

I'd really like an easier output method then manually creating 1024 pixels sized cubefaces, a PNG preview of 48x48 pixels and a XML file with references to the cubefaces, description and preview.

The viewer is called CubeWorld and can be found at:

BTW, from Marco: CubeWorld is a specific application for the iphone (a binary - not an applet or something similar - and thats why it works only on this platform)

The player is indeed iPhone/iPod Touch only, the panoramas however are a folder with six cubefaces, an xml file and an PNG preview icon. I think this should be easily translated as an extra output setting for Pano2VR, or am I wrong?

What about the Rempap function in Output?

Naturally the cubefaces are no problem, to me it is more about a complete package, mainly the xml. I'd like to see the input fields for title, author etc. generating an XML, all in one step preferably.

Thomas has something about the HTML Template in the Wiki, also a Video Tutorial about it:

It should be possible to construct the code to put all your needed fields into the template. After generating the template you rename it to xml and cut the parts that you don't need.
But I'm not the big programming wizard....
