Adding multiple user-playable sounds to a single panorama

[daveosaurus]

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to add more than one sound to a panorama within a tour, so that the user can play/pause each?

I've read up on the docs, https://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/guide/pi ... ounds-add/ but I can't see an obvious solution for what I want to do...

I added a seekbar in the skin -- but this is where I'm starting to get confused... it looks like a seekbar can only be connected to one sound object?

If I wanted multiple audio clips on a panorama, e.g. to play clip 1 when you click on object 1, but to replace that with clip 2 when you click on object 2 (audio narration about each object, say) how would I do this?

Would I use sound objects? Image hotspots with scripting added? Both?

Would I be able to link them to the same seekbar?

Is there an example of this being done somewhere?

hi dave,

You could create a sound element for each sound file in the panorama and place it at the point to which the sound refers.
Then the viewer can click on it if interested and control it individually.
I have already done it this way for an exhibition tour: https://www.testspace.klonk-fotodesign. ... index.html

You can add sounds to the project file, they will be default get the IDs Element01, Element02 etc.
You can then have buttons to play the sounds. If you wanted a seek bar, you could use a set value action in the play button so the seek bar responds to each now sound.
If you want Point Hotspots to play the audio files, then look at the attached project.

Thank you, Stephan and Hopki!

Hopki – the example project was just what I needed. Allowed me to see how you can do this with audio files AND separate hotspots, and how they interact. Perfect!

Stephan – your project looks great! Two questions ...

1) When you say you created "a sound element for each sound file" did you do that in the skin? Or do you still only have one element in the skin, which is applied to all of the audio hotspots / buttons in your tour?

2) How did you do the intro panels? I'm curious!

Thanks again both

@stephan,
Nice implementation of the audio hotspot,

First click "Voiceover four" - no matter which button.
No sound after the second click.
I don't see any play-pause button.
