Hi Mohammed, There is a handy help section for theViewer, here is the article about embedding http://help.theViewer.co/advance-features/how-to-embed-tours-in-your-website As for rotating, currently there is no feature to set the starting angle, only starting panorama. The only way is changing the direction when rendering the image itself, sorry Let me know if it works out

Hey guys, I know some of you are keen to hear about developments in VR, same as me. My VR platform of choice, theViewer finally officially released their app on Oculus store. Check it out https://www.oculus.com/experiences/gear-vr/955859367860314/ For more info about theViewer, visit http://theConstruct.co/beta Thanks for being awesome, guys Cheers!

@Scott I have not been in that 25 people situation, to be honest. But theViewer gives a direct link too, so I dont see the issue - if I want, I can have any number of clients see the tour at once on their device, be it at sub-par quality. As I said, the app is best when I come in with my GearVR and Ipad and want to show a premium quality tour to clients and its perfect for that, IMHO. I only work with spherical panos and those are certainly supported mono and stereo. Im not sure about cubes, havent had the chance to use any. Its interesting what you say about cube loading times - hadnt thought of that. Then again, thats where the app comes in again I wouldnt spend my time to convert from spheres to cubes just to save web loading times though..

Its hard to say. Corona has always been a super low prices high quality software and their clients are used to it, so I assume they wouldnt want to charge very much. Then again, its all about market forces. theViewer has a premium subscription, which is monthly and Im actually not paying at all, cause I need only basic functions. But for Corona I really dont know, they might charge extra, might include it into the default licence

@Francisco Im not here to discuss this to death and I agree with most what you say, so Ill keep it brief. From the software I have seen, browser VR is "a shortcut" to getting your tour on multiple devices (having cross-platform integration at the cost of loading times and quality). Im sorry, to this day I have not seen a browser VR experience that loads as fast and has as crisp of an FPS, as my theViewer apps. When going to a client, I want to be 100% certain my tour will load, it will behave as it should and my client will see top image quality. I dont have the courage to rely on the internet connection at their office, or have them make comments that its laggy or rooms load too slow. Thats my line in the sand, but of course, I accept the opposite view. @Josef If you know Corona-renderer, they are actually launching their Corona VR Warp Helper, I think its called, with theConstruct, so you can place scenes where the panos will be, put warps/hotspots in and then render the whole tour with warp coordinates already in the .jpg output, so its ready to go online or in an app. I havent tried it myself, but Corona seems pretty proud of that one, my bet is that other rendering software will be soon to follow

@Scott Samsung internet is an option I hadnt considered, I will fully admit that. But for a presentation, its easier for me to open an app than save a link somewhere and then open it with a browser in VR and hope it loads. @Francisco As I said before, theViewer has a spectator mode in beta, where you can see on one devices screen what another device is viewing. With that function you can hook up 5 GearVRs to one Ipads app and have 5 people see what you show on the Ipad. I havent tried it that way, but in principle the function is there @both The reason I say browser VR is low quality and not as good as true cross-platform integration with multiple apps is that I have experienced it first person. Rare if any browser VR has chromatic abbreviation, the loading times between panoramas are longer, the delays are longer and at the end of the day, you could never have a presentation without tip-top WiFi or 4G. In theory its great - one link for all devices (even GearVR with a bit of wit), but in practice its sub-optimal in terms of quality (hence I say its low [lower] quality)

The problem with web is that it wont work for GearVR. And it will have worse quality. Just sharing the Gallaxy screen from GearVR, if possible will give you a split screen on the projector - it will look horrendous. I maintain that theViewer is the best option right now, at least I have not found anything better yet.

I dont think so. Not unless you code the entire multiplayer side of it yourself. From my experience (this is a few months ago so they might have improved) KRpano just creates copy-paste content for the web. No extra features, no cross-platform integration, NO GEARVR, and quite poor quality in VR. Then again you can only see it in VR with Google CardBoard, so of course its not good quality

Hey Chris, I currently work with theViewer.co and it does pretty much what you describe. You can create VR tours from 360 panoramas online, but then they have separate apps so you can download and view the content offline as well. Moreover, I had a sneak peek at their spectator mode - I can see on my Iphone (or any other device), what the person in the GearVR is viewing. So for a bunch of GearVR you can go the other way round - hook them up as "spectators" and then do a tour on your laptop for all to see. Its pretty cool. Check out more info on http://theConstruct.co/beta And there is a bunch of example tours on theViewer.co Hope this helps - sounds like what you are looking for

Hi Farncisco, What resolution would you recommend for GearVR? Im having a bit of issues with rendering times on my rig, as I actually ran it on my laptop.. You are right about Evermotion - Im testing this VR tour thing with their scenes as I cant share the clients design publicly. I dont know who is the original creator of this scene though, but all credit of the underlying model goes to them Did you try it on your smartphone btw? It looks quite good on my Gallaxy, if I dont go into VR mode - the gainyness only shows up on desktop or in GearVR

Holy cow... Thats fantastic to behold. For 2 weeks worth of work its very detailed and polishes, Im struggling to find fault with it. Did you create the assets, like lamp, chair and sofas yourself or are they stock from somewhere? Overall, jaw dropping work. Thank you so much for sharing this!
