Synchronized Panoramas

Hi all,

I saw a set of synchronized panoramas here a long time ago at the following page:

www.panoguide.com/forums/galleries/3585/

Unfortunately the linked panorama is now gone, but does anyone know how to have two panoramas on a web page with both moving together. I use QTVR, but would switch to another format if needed.

Thanks,
Tom

Gday Tom,

The only plugin I know of which will synchronize two panoramas is DevalVR produced by Fiero who often contributes here. Given that it can use QTVR movies I would guess that it may be possible to present it in a pure QuickTime format also.

Anyway, I have a script which I think (from memory) was written by Dorin (also a great contributer to this forum). I don't think he would mind me passing it on. So here it is;

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title></title>
<!--
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight);
window.focus();
//-->
<style type="text/css" title="Default">
body, div, h1, h2, h3, span, p {
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
color: Black;
}
body {
font-size: 10pt;
background : #000000;
}
td,tr,table {
font-size: 10pt;
border : 1 Black;
border-left-style : solid;
border-bottom-style : solid;
border-top-style : solid;
border-right-style : solid;
border-left-width : 0;
border-right-width : 0;
border-top-width : 0;
border-bottom-width : 0;
border-color : #777777;
background : #000000;
}
h1 {
font-size: 18pt;
}
h2 {
font-size: 14pt;
}
</style>
</head>
<!--CENTRAT DXN--><!--CENTER-->

Please let us know if there is a problem with us using this Dorin.

Thanks Morten,

I couldn't get the script to work (I'm strictly amateur when it comes to writing HTML & Java code), but you got me pointed into the right direction and found something at the DevalVR site that works.

No problem at all, my cross-eye panoramas are based on this and them are up here

G'day Dorin,

I almost forgot about those 'cross-eye' panos. You know, I think it's much easier to do after a few beers! Got it first time tonight. It still makes me feel a little queasy though.

As far as virtual reality goes, I really think it has some merit. Well done as always.

Regards,

Morten
