Hi all!
Well, after 2 years of tinkering I have my first tour using Pano2VR that I actually charged money for. I had the opportunity to do a "non Real Estate" tour of an Opera Center in Fort Lauderdale. It's nothing spectacular by a long shot, and if I look at what I earned on an hourly basis, I could do better mopping floors at Burger King, but I got to get a better feel for using Pano2VR. I love this software and can see the potential once I figure out what I want to do, and develop an efficient work flow.:

My question is this. I believe a virtual tour should be just that. A TOUR. Not just panoramas and photos. I want the experience more than visual, I want it to be informative and interactive.
That being said, I open each panorama with an information box that pulls from the information field in the user data. I dont want to leave to to Grandma that she has to click the little "i" button. I want to put the info in her face so that she can read it. I really like the demo Hopki did with the pop-out with images and sound and plan to incorporate something similar in my tours down the line.
My question is this: Is there any way that I can get the tour to open the info box on the first visit to the panorama only, and not show it on subsequent visits? Right now I use the action Loaded -> Show Element and have a Click -> Hide Element Action (also the info button to toggle).
I would be nice if the info box does not pop up each time the pano is visited. Thanks!
