With Firefox 4 landing soon and webGL support increasing ( chrome, safari .. maybe even IE someday ) ... it would probably be best to use something like: http://webuser.hs-furtwangen.de/~dersch/PTViewerNG/PTViewerNG.html
It looks like that was hacked up fairly quickly ... but someone would have to improve its support across modern browsers and possibly have a fall-back to flash mechanisms for viewers. I will definitely put looking at that in my long term todo list. I think it would make for an interesting plugin for the sequencer efforts as well, ie including pans on panoramas as section of a documentary. --michael On 09/15/2010 12:49 PM, Daniel Schwen wrote: > Hey Robin, > so I guess I'll answer here instead of on my userpage [1] > >> After a quick look I got the impression that krpano is currently state >> of the art but you may know another program. >> > krpano is not an option, it is non-free. > A alternative would be panosalado2, but last time I checked it had > numerous problems, such as > * lack of documentation > * the need to re-project images into a cube panorama format before the > multiresolution modus works (needed to get an improvement for large > images over the current viewer) > * lack of cylindrical projection support > * lack of cut-off spherical pano support > > The last two points mean that approximately 99.9999% of the panos on > commons will NOT work with Panosalado. > > Believe me I looked hard for an alternative, and all I got was hours of grief! > Daniel > > [1] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dschwen#Panoramic_viewer > > _______________________________________________ > Commons-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l > _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
