Poor resolution on iPad

I´m generating a virtual tour including iPad/iPhone option. In Safari/Firefox the panorama runs very well but when I open it with an iPad the resolution is very very poor and every hotspot has an annoying circle around. I bought the 299€ panorama pro license with the only purpose to create panoramas for iPad because I found many examples created with panorama pro that worked really well, but I'm not getting even similar results. Please help me to not feel that I wasted my money.

Which model of iPad are you using to view the tour?

The hardware limitations of the i-Devices (compared to conventional desktiop and laptop compueters) mean it's not possible to support multi-resolution tiling on these platforms. So resolution - in terms of the ability to zoom in in ever greater detail - is restricted on these platforms. But perhaps you are experiencing a different issue?

and every hotspot has an annoying circle around.

Are you using custom graphics for point hotspots?

Re: Poor resolution on iPad

I've resolved the hotspots problem, so thank you very much, but I'm not able to improve the quality of the panoramas in iPad. I'm using an iPad3 and also and iPad2 and the results are very similar, well, obviously, a pixelated image looks worse on an iPad 3. As I said there are examples supposly created with panotour that have great quality images on ipad. All I want is to change the way panotour creates the images on 'mobile' folder. It creates jpg images of 1024x1024 which can't be more pixelated. If i change this images I got no results on the panorama because it still being the same.
It has to be some solution there....

Re: Poor resolution on iPad

What is the resolution of your input images?

And what format are they?

Can you put a sample tour online so we can see the problems you are reporting?

Can you attach one of the 1024x1024 cube faces to your post so we can see the quality? (tip: use Post Reply rather than Quick Post to reveal the image upload feature below the message composition box).

Before submitting to you a virtual tour I want to make some tests with the information retrieved from your tips. If I don´t make any progress I will post again. Thank you very much for your pacience and your time, ;-)
