Hi Everyone,
I'd like first to thank Thomas for his great software!
I have a question about the pano creation: is it possible to start a pano (swf) using a timer function?
The purpose is to create a series of panos that we can leave turning in the background of a presentation, and after a while (after the first pano has completed its 360°), start the second one, and the thrid one... and so on...
Any ideas? Or would that be a request for the new version?
Thanks & regards
Thomas

Hi
I very cheap and easy way is to put a timer in the html page to forward to another html page and so on until you loop back.
Just put this in the head section of your webpage with the meta tags.
This is it in a page so you know where to put it.
In the above 8 is the time in seconds, change it for what you need.
slide 2.html is the page name it will next open, so in the last html you need to open slide 1 to restart.
Here it is working:

The only problem with the above solution is that it doesn't take into account the time taken to load the pano. The timer starts ticking as soon as the browser sees the instruction. If it is important that the 360-degree sweep is completed first, this might be a problem. But if not... good idea!

(Oh, it also doesn't let the new pano load within the same page; this is a regular HTML-spec feature that forces a complete page load. But again, that's not necessarily a problem.)

My spin on this wish list:
For a kiosk installation I'm working on, it would be great if a P2VR timer might record the time since the last user input. Thus, if no user has been at the kiosk after a set period of time, the VR tour could be made to return to its default node.
