Viewer starting location
Posted: 17 Apr 2008 at 5:50 GMT
What determines where in the pano the viewer starts to display? (Converting to QuickTime appears to start in the center of the equirectangular image?)

Is there a way to set the viewer starting location, viewing angle, zoom factor, etc.?

Thanks,
David

David, The converter program usually provides an option to specify viewer parameters. E.g. For Pano2QTVR see the Settings tab, and for Pano2VR they are on the main panel. If you are embedding the QTVR file in html code, then you can specify the parameters there too.

Great info, as always John. I just need to dig deeper into the tabs and menus!

Thanks,

Hi Macro,

If you are in Windows, you can use DevalVR to change the initial view position. Only open the MOV file and press "Q" button www.devalvr.com/paginas/productos/index.html (download the latest Unicode player if you use Korean for your filenames)

regards!
