HTML5 gyroscope control setting in Pano2VR

I am sure this has been discussed before but...
Just for fun and to see what would happen, I put a check mark in the "Include gyroscope conrol" check box on the HTML tab inside the HTML5 output section of Pano2VR. I uploaded the panorama to my web site for testing.
HOLY SH!T On my iPod touch, in addition to using your finger to scroll around, you hold the iPod up like a camera and rotate it around you! It is kind of spooky seeing a picture in your iPod of a scene that is not physically there. As you sweep your iPod around the room you see your panorama as if you were standing there. Way Cool.

Agreed, and it has got a lot of attention here in Norway. One tour I produced was for a museum who couldn't let visitors into certain buildings, since they were too fragile to stand people trampling about. Loaned iPads solved this: as one visitor said, "It's like looking through the walls."
The solution with iOSVR is, in my opinion, a better one, since the gyroscope is activated through a button. Superb if you are doing tours that need some explanation, or have/want linked images.
Its downside is that it is not brilliant when it comes to caching on iDevices or using Goodreader. There Pano2VR pips the post, but Damir at iOSVR has said this will change in due course.
One thing I can say is that potential clients spend a lot more time playing with the iPad version than they do looking at desktop examples. For those doing commercial panorama photography, this is an important thing to note.
