From what I have understood you may need Object2VR from the same company that makes pano2VR (gardengnomesoftware). It allows you to combine images into rows and columns. Left-right arrows or horizontal mouse drag change the pictures of one column while the up-down arrows or vertical mouse drag change rows. You can also add hotspots there but in a different way than in PTP. The hotspots there are not visible - you move the mouse over a building for example and the text box with the necessary text appears. The hotspots are clickable and they trigger pictures to appear above (|I tried it only with pictures but you may probably add text video and flash as well). You have to understand that in such programs you add a hotspot to every picture you want to be it in. 
Try downloading the trial version and see if it is what you need.
I'm not sure if Kolor makes such kind of software. If it does I would be eager to try.

Hi Gund,
yes actually i tried object2VR already...it works but seems very limited for interfaces, adding video/audio ... custom hotspot (visible), google maps, 360 pano's...
All these software can do specific things but i need them all in one bundle
Seems like there aren't many choices for creating object vr's

!) One-does-it-all solutions rarely do all things equally well. That´s why there are specialized applications around.
2) ObjectVR often is created by specialized software bundeled with specialized hardware.
For example Dr. Clauss Rodeon series and Seitz VR2.

Don´t understimate the complexity of object-vr.

Forget your deadline on Nov. 13. and calculate instead a learning period of some months until being able to do object-vr commercially.
(and also calcuate about 2500-5000.-€ for aequivalent equipment).

i've only seen one working example of working object VRs embedded directly in a panorama

http://www.studioargento.com/immersiva/ … anoinpano/

this was created by toni garbasso w pano2vr & object2vr, i tried to do something like this once in krpano but there were issues controlling an object embedded directly in a pano, and at that time i could not get it to work the way i wanted, which toni has done here

but something similar could be done w panotour pro + additional krpano coding, as in destiny's examples above

if you really have 6 days to get this all done and no experience whatsoever with the applications needed to create something like this, best to contact an experienced virtual tour author ASAP

Guys thanks for the feedback/suggestions etc, i'll check this out later today and reply

First of all, i'm at the moment not interested in creating object-VR in real life (photographing objects).
Like i said i already have all my 3D rederings from a high poly village scene (created with E-on Vue software).
I just need the software...

Secondly i probably wans't clear about what i need at my deadline:
i explained the final app but for next week i only have to show a working tech demo,
with 4 different time periods to navigate in (final will have 9 or more).
and some hotspot's that shows interactivity.
But that is still enough :p

Hi Sam.. Your multi link with alpha pano on layers got me thinking.. So I tried it out using ptp.. It did not work.. I discovered that there was no alpha on the holes in cube faces I cut out, despite the fact that I imported a tif with an alpha channel.. I exported cube faces opting NOT to "Remove alpha channel"... I tried using a png and a tif, both failed to export the alpha channel.. This explains a few issues I have had in the past with my testing..

The point here being, it appears that ptp does not export or support the alpha channel in a pano.. I think krpano will since some other things I tried to do did work.. Perhaps this is a bug since ptp has an option to "Remove alpha channel", which suggest it does support the alpha channel... but it doesn't seem to work..

Destiny...
