Norwegian Real Estate?

One abandoned house, complete with contents, now opened as a museum that shows how the rich used to live in Norway.
Oddentunet was a farm dating back hundreds of years, which was bought and built upon in the 1820s. The new building was remarkably sumptuous, being funded through the supply of coal from the west coast to nearby Røros. The building was "listed" in the 1930s by the Riksantikkvern, which basically meant the owners were not allowed to make any changes.
In the 1970s, the owners moved to a nearby house but continued to run the farm. Surprisingly, all the contents were abandoned (even their clothes) and most of this has yet to be catalogued.
The building is now in the hands of the North Østerdal Museum, who commissioned this tour.
Any feedback, positive or otherwise, will be gratefully received.

What a fascinating place! I would love to visit it.
In “Andre Estasje” there is a room with what looks like a revolving-door frame. Was it used for winding handspun yarn?
I imagine I wouldn’t have much time for making panoramas if I had to spin and weave all of the yarn and fabric used by the family.
Are the boards in the kitchen ceiling misaligned like that, or did you have some stitching problems?
I understand that you wanted to keep the golden-brown tone throughout the tour, but the skies in the outdoor scenes have a strange cast. (O course, I would not for a moment challenge your artistic choices.)
I like your treatment of the outdoor scenes seen through the windows — bright but just enough detail to see what’s there.
Your tour surround and thumbnails are very attractive and easy to navigate. It loads quickly.
Very nice work. I learn so much from seeing how you make tours.

Thanks, Judy. It is always good to hear positive things, and coming from one with your skills, I am humbled (but not in the Rupert Murdoch sense).
Well. In the kitchen, I had to do a double-take, since I thought the ceiling was badly stitched. However, these are all little trapdoors, which pleases me no end, since I have used for the second time a 360Precision Adjuste and, after days of calibration, thought it was pretty accurate. (Actually, I have got so blasé about this head that I stitch to a flat tiff panorama and forget the in-betweens!)
As for the skies. Yes, they seem a little reddish, but oddly, that is what I remembered. In reality, the raw files were very steel in their colouring and I reduced the reds and increased the blues. Perhaps I need another peek.
This was a fun project; the first of many, I hope. The museum service has got a few IT apparachiks in their employ, and they seem quite keen in developing this sort of tour further.

Another great tour Jon and an interesting story behind it. Good to see that my old Adjuste is getting used as well

It certainly is: I have never felt so confident about a piece of equipment . . . It never fails in providing superb accuracy each time.
Thanks for selling it to me. Got any more?

Really good - and what an amazing place. I particularly like the painted panels on the doors.
There's a typo (AACTUS) on the bottom/copyright line of the 'info' panel which is displayed when clicking on the 'i' icon.

Jon,
I let the tactus360.com/panos/lysgaard/index.html Lysgaard project slide because I thought you had made an attempt to make it unique to Tactus360 but your latest project is a little close for comfort.
You have been around here long enough to know this isn't ethical behavior. I am not trying to slap your hand in public but if you want to borrow a design idea the least you could do is ask my permission first. We should be encouraging creativity in this industry, not copying. I spend obscene amounts of time designing and building my tours so they are unique to everything else out there. I would appreciate it if you and others put the same effort into your own work.
-Terry

It seems to me that that is excaty what you are doing. 
Otherwise you could have contacted Jon directly.

You can try to spin this any way you like but the bottom line is the onus is not on me to notify someone in private because they copied my work. The onus is on the individual to not copy my work, simple as that. Angry emoticon me all you like it won't change the fact that it this is not acceptable behavior.

Well, to be quite honest, Terry, I did send you an email about this as well, just as I did the Lysgaard tour. You responded to neither.
I took a basic idea which I thought was excellent and worked it in a way I thought I could, given the time constrictions and the the inspiration you provided. At no point did I copy your graphics, and using a different converter to you, there is no way I could have begun to do anything as slick and sophisticated as you did. Mea culpa.
The best form of flattery comes in imitation; this was in seeing something I liked and I did my own version.
If that bothered you, then, as Andrew said, a public forum is not the place to do it. If you had had your queenie fit with me privately (we both know you have my email address), then I might have done something different. However, right now I am seething that you decided to castigate me publically and, much as I think you are a lovely bloke, you have done ths in an attempt to humiliate me. Well done. You have. Feel better?
When it boils down to it, there are only so many ways to cook an egg and, were we all to try to do something differently, then we would be stepping on others toes too,

PS Were this a genuine attempt to copy your work, I would never had been stupid enough to post it pubically here, where everyone knows you are the dog's bollocks (and that, old fruit) is a compliment in English.

Sorry Jon I honestly did not receive that email. If I had I would not have resorted to making this public. Just understand that I spend lots of time in this area of development. It is something I take seriously and I would hope anyone who has spent considerable amounts of time on a project would understand and try to protect. We all have access to the same software the same players and the same equipment. The only thing that separates us is our creativity and skill. All I ask is that people ask first (which apparently you did) and that they really try and make their design their own.
Best of luck,
-Terry
