Panotour for the NEW iPad

Is Kolor already working on the implementation of the newest KRPano feature of sensing the iPad3 and using larger tiles for it?

Hi!

Guess you can manually put just a higher-sized image in? On i-devices afaik the tiles aren´t used anyway but the mobilke-faces. I think you can use just larger ones.

Re: Panotour for the NEW iPad

Hello Willy,

We always try to deliver Panotour with the last stable release of krpano.
So Panotour/Panotour Pro 1.8.0 is based on the 11th update of the 1.0.8.14 version of krpano .

The 12th update has to be checked and tested on the 3 available versions of iPad, before Panotour Pro integrate it.

Klaus ,  yes  I thought to  do that, but that would be good  only  for a kind of private test, because larger cube sizes  would  kill Safari on iPad 1 and 2

Re: Panotour for the NEW iPad

Just stumbled across this post whilst searching for info on tours looking pixelated on retina iOS devices (iPhone 4, 4S and new iPad). I did think about manually replacing the mobile-faces with high dpi mobile faces but as wkaemena says, this would kill performance on the older non-retina devices.

The problem is the retina iOS devices still report their browser screen size as the older non-retina size, to take advantage of the retina display the mobile faces need to remain the same size in pixels but have their dpi bumped up to around 280 or 300. So we'd need a few mobile-faces generated, one set for non-retina iOS devices and one for retina iOS devices and have the krpano serve up the right version depending on the device being used.

This brings up another question though, it's not just iOS devices that won't play flash, the latest Android OS and browsers do not come with flash installed as standard and when I viewed one of my mobile tours on an Motorola Xoom it was prompting me to install flash on the Xoom. It would be nice if rather than detecting if it's an iOS device and then loading the HTML5 version, if it detected when flash was installed and rather than prompting to install flash, loaded the HTML5 version?

I hope this is something that is coming soon, I've had several comments now from clients about the low resolution of their tours when viewed on an iPhone 4 or new iPad. If anybody does know a quick fix to this issue please do let me know, I don't mind hand coding a few bits and creating higher dpi mobile-faces if necessary.

Re: Panotour for the NEW iPad

Gerald, Georg,

Yes this post is a really old one.
We did not integrate the 1.0.8.15 version for different technical reasons.
We are now working on the 2.0 version of Panotour which will use the "real" last version of the krpano player.

Re: Panotour for the NEW iPad

And so since this version, is it possible to generate 2048x2048 images for mobile devices example?
