Clickable hot spots ?

  Sorry , by the sound of that , this java pano app is not going
to do the trick for you . Wish I would have known that you were
looking for a sophisticated viewer in the first place .

 Anyway ... Off the top of my head I would guess that the RSV6
viewer is what you are looking for , but you would have to 
"Bake" the actual raytraced images into , at least , a major
portion of the scene , in order to get the photorealistic
quality you seem to be looking for .

  This I think is completely do-able ... but has never been
done before in this community (ie: mapping photo's to objects
the same way that actual VR apps do (like Icarus's built-in
feature .

  I know you have expressed concerns regarding the RS viewer,
and I addressed those concerns of yours a couple of times ,
but never did get a reply from you as to if they solved your
problems ... or not .

good luck
