Advice on javascript panorama viewer
Posted: 2 Jan 2008 at 13:37 GMT
Hi all,

I'm programming my javascript 360°-panorama viewer. I made two viewers with different navigation types. My plan is to make one of them default for my site, but I'm not sure which one. They can be seen here:

I need an advice: Which viewer do you like: draggable or mouseover?

Puzz
I like the movement of the mouseover version a lot better than the dragging action of the other viewer. But I'm used to the action of the PTViewer and and iPIX Java Viewer, so I'm biased

Couldn't figure out how to zoom though

I'm curious why you're making your own Java Viewer when the PTViewer ver2.5? is free and works great.

I'm not making java viewer, but javascript viewer wink PTviewer is nice and I use it on my site. But not everybody has installed java. That's why I wanted to make an alternative javascript viewer.

For example, this is a javascript version: tinyurl.com/35dyep

...and the same with PTviewer: tinyurl.com/2le66c

(I had to use tinyurl, because it seems this forum doesn't recognize my links).

Ofcourse, it looks much better with PTviewer. With javascript there is no zoom (as you already noted). But, if you don't have java installed -- javascript viewer still works (at least I hope it works smile )

Thanks for your comment.

And, of course -- happy new year!

Now I get it.

I like the compass degrees being displayed in the lower left corner. Has some definite uses for outdoor views like you have.

Good luck
