Hi there,
now I want to show you my biggest project so far. I have done it for my graduation for study to a media designer and it´s a big interactive panorama tour through Feldkirch, a dark age city in Austria.
It was only possible with the support of KOLOR! So thank you for this!
It has included 3D directional sound as long as information texts about historical buildings. The tour starts with a GigaPixelPano. If you are in the normal panorama-view, then go to the "Marktgasse" and see the different city-atmospheres like the nightshots.
So please have a look at it and post me your comments, critics or suggestions ;-)

Regards,
Marc

That is really great! I love the way that the gigapixel acts as the main menu for the tour and that you can jump from the gigapixel into the 360vr stuff.
I have been thinking about doing something like this for a city website project I'm working on.
Did you code all the flash yourself or did you use a tool to build the tour?

The interface for moving around in the gigapixel is pretty awkward. When you click and drag your mouse the pano moves in the opposite direction. I think it would be more intuitive if you could drag the pano around with your mouse.

Hi Stuman,
thanks for your answer. I´ve done all the krpano xml-coding by myself!
I´ve done some usability tests and it was about 50:50. Some started dragging the mouse on the right side, some would like a "drag and drop" method.
So of course I could change the mouse-behaving but then other people would come and ask to change it, because it´s nod good for them 
and one other advantage is, that you only have to click once and hold the mouse and the image moves into this direction as long as you hold down the mouse

Hi Maw,
I am also puzzled by the way you pan the pano.
Just look how GoogleMaps pans a map ...
Offline
okay, I´m thinking about it
You also don´t like the way you pan the "normal" panos?
Offline
hey, what is a "normal" pano ? ;-)
on gigapan.org imho worlds largest pano-collection panning is done the same way like google maps
and on 360cities.net pan follows the mouse drag direction the way as I expect it
may be I am wrong ;-)
Offline
I meant maybe to change the panning in the gigapan to the same way as in google maps (as gigapan.org), but the 360° panos should behave like they do now (as like 360cities.net)

Great work Maw,

great and impressive work ! but it's a bit heavy, maybe due to my connection today ? or the (good) quality of the pictures ?

My own reaction was that this tour makes full use of a recent fast Internet connection so that the result is something which was impossible to enjoy using previous ADSL connections. I have an optical fiber connection (La fibre - France telecom) which replaces a coper pair ADSL one so that I don't wait between panos (or nearly.)
As and when very fast connections will become available big interactive tours like this one (that is including many 360 x 180 high resolution panos) should gain a much wider audience...

Very nice work! It would be very nice if the tour started zoomed in on a particular spot or landmark, and then zooms out so you can see the larger panorama? Perhaps that would give an ever bigger wow for the firsttime users of 360 and gigapans? I had no problems loading, I thought it was rather "snappy". I have a 12 mbps connection over cable. Again I think you have a great pice work here.
Offline
oh thanks for that nice tip.
So I know what to do tomorrow (or better today )
you´re right, maybe sometimes people don´t know what is a gigapano and then all the "WOW-effect" of the image is gone, because they think thats a "normal" pano-image.
Thanks for it ;-)
And the second thing is, that I will change the mouse-mode in the giga-pano (only) that it works like in google earth (drag & drop method).
But the mouse-mode in the 360x180° pano-images I will leave unchanged
Offline
Fantastic!

Very nice job and big job I assume...
I'd like to do moreorless the same, but I haven't enough informations for such a programmation....
The buttons (blue arrows blinking), the map and the informations windows as well as the "night shots" windows or sounds are out of my competences.
I'm only able to use the basic programming of AutoPano tour...
Is there some good and easy informations somewhere in order to do moreorless the same things...?

Hi Andre,
download the krpano examples and start learning and doing the same things by yourself ;-)
That´s what I´ve done...
Offline
so, now I´ve changed:
-the mouse mode in the gigapano, so that it works like you know it from Google Earth
-and the tip from trondk: the gigapano starts fully zoomed in into the city´s landmark the "Schattenburg" (castle) and then automatically zoom out to see the full panorama

Great tour! I love it.

Awesome! Superb quality images and really like the way that you have tied up gigapan with traditional 360's. Website layout and design is uncluttered and simple. 10/10

Maw, this is fabulous : ) Thank you for posting your example here. It is so great to see a large panorama, 360 degree panoramas, and directional sound integrated like this. KRpano has really helped enable this type of multimedia. I understand well how much time and effort it takes to create something like this. Often, you are aware of any non ideal qualities, but have difficulty fixing them or just do not have enough time and energy to do those last things. Again, thank you for this example and I will return to see more : )
Did you post this to the krpano forum as well for Klaus to see?

thanks for your nice feedback
Yes I´ve posted it into the krpano board, but didn´t get any feedback. So now I wrote something into my thread maybe I will get feedback, also from Klaus

today, there was a report about Feldkirch360 in the big austrian daily news "derStandard".
Here´s the original link to the online-version (german):
http://derstandard.at/fs/1246543963822/ … -Feldkirch
Here is the english text (translated with google):
http://74.125.87.132/translate_c?hl=de& … PdgYBWvY_w
One sentence about the novelty of city-panorama tours is a bit wrong. I meant that I don´t know a similar tour with combined gigapano and normal 360° panos. Because I know, that there are lots of beautiful city-tours, also here in the board
Regards,
Marc

------------------ NEWS -----------------
The first shop is now online to visit interactive in the Feldkirch360 city tour.
More and more shops, restaurants and bars will be available to view in 360 degrees some of them in the next few days directly on this page:

If you are promoting the city to visitors, would it be an idea to also promote the site in English? Regrettably I don't speak any other language (although learning Italian) and seeing a site that I cannot read immediately turns me a way.
Also, I clicked on the panoramic for linked on the above page and immediately failed because I have Flash 10 and states that I need Flash 9 to view. Flash 10 is known to display tours better than Flash 9 - version 3.0 required to update tours to latest flash version??
