Linking external map to VR tour
Posted: 4 Oct 2009 at 6:49 GMT

Hi All
I am busy working on quite a large tour in tourweaver. I want an external map with hotspots on there site. The hotspots need to link to the specific scenes in the tourweaver tour. Does anyone have an idea/tutorial on how this can be done. I have been through millons of google pages and can't seem to find info on it.
Regards Gillon

At this point there is no way to link to a specific scene of a compiled Tourweaver scene. You can only link to the tour and then have a button the will follow a "movie path" that you have written/complied within the completed tour.
The alternate is to do what all other tour compilers require and that is totally separate movies/tours that are linked together.

Well, that was all done in Pano2vr, rather than using a tour-building operation. Takes a while, though!

Jon,
Do you mean that literally? If I have for input files panoramic images and maybe a jpg floorplan, Pano2vr is the only tool for that.
I am also looking for a tour creation software.
Was that one of your creation?

There are several you could use to achieve the result you want. I used Pano2VR, which is excellent, despite its limitations. You should look around to see what is best for you. Look at Flash Panorama Player and use the Flasificator that Trausti has devised, or KRPano.

Most html editors, like dreamweaver and frontpage, have this option. You can load the image in the program and just draw a rectangle, circle or polygon around the area where you want to place your link. If you want to be really fancy, you can implement something like shadowbox in that link. This will darken your site at the background while the tour pops up.

I like your lake condos. I am using IE 8 and only issue is.. there is a "close window" link under the content. When I click it the browser closes. Maybe the link should be a relative link back to your home page like ../homepage.html
I like the imaging "through the windows" and it looks like you got the white balance right on target.

Glad you like Dave.
The link above is the direct URL for the virtual tour. It is launched from another page on the clients website as a new page and also from the Realtors corporate site as a new page. When you close you are back where you started. The navigation trail was a compromise between 4 different parties and that solution seemed to make all happy. Was tricky with 1 map, 3 floor plans and 17 panos. They wanted everything to fit without scrolling.
Enfuse for the windows + Photoshop.
Shooting the panos was the easy part.
Thanks,
TTurner

Has anyone seen a 3D map. When you do something with multiple floors, it would be nice to stack them and allow the visitor to rotate and interact with a skeleton of the layout. I suspect that would have to be done in flash, but I am not certain how. An example of it being done would be helpful.
I am starting to realize that the photography is the easier part of a true virtual tour. A GUI built with style and function is much harder to come by.

This is in the works. Not going to be ready on this side of 2010, but should be available in the first quarter of 2010. There are too many other things to see to first... as it always is in life.
In Flashificator of course.
