We are very proud to announce the final release of Pano2VR 3.0 after almost 10 months in public beta. The major new features compared to 2.3 are:
  • HTML5 export (iPhone/iPad)
  • Multi Resolution
  • Transitions
  • Photoshop PSB/PSD and BigTIFF support
  • SVG/SWF objects in the Skin
We also did a lot of the improvements in every other part of the software. We like to thank everyone who beta tested and helped us to improved Pano2VR with their bug reports and suggestions.

To demonstrate some of the key features we created a short video.

As Pano2VR 3 is a major new release, this is for the first time a paid upgrade, however if you bought Pano2VR 2 since 1.1.2010 the upgrade is free. To buy or upgrade your license please visit the license page.

To show you some of those new features we updated the examples page. You can also use the iPhone friendly shortcut: http://ggnome.com/3.

MfG, Thomas

We are happy to release a new version of Pano2VR. While looking at the features we decided that this justifies a minor release number instead of just a 3.0.1 release. Of course this moved back the planned features for 3.1 to 3.2 as you can see in the updated roadmap.

The major new features are WebGL support for the HTML5 output so now Firefox >=4.0 and Chrome >=9.0 are also supported. Another highlight is the built-in web server to simplify local testing.

Here is the complete list of the new features:
  • Built-in web server
  • HTML5 WebGL support (Firefox, Chrome)
  • HTML5 Gyro support
  • HTML templates now use SWFObject
  • HTML5 multi-touch support for Android 3.1 and Blackberry Playbook
  • Hebrew and Greek translations
There have been also a lot of bug fixes. For instance, Flash panoramas work again in Flash 9/CS4.
We also did a lot of the improvements in every other part of the software.

We are happy to release a new version of Pano2VR. This is mainly a bug fix release. You can find the complete list of changes here. Two new features are a “Show in Explorer/Finder” in the context menu (right click) for all labels with file names. We also changed almost all dialogs to be non modal so you can now open more then one output or project window at the same time.
The file path handling has also been changed and the “base path” has been removed. All files are now relative to the project file.

This new version of Pano2VR is mainly a bug fix release. You can find the complete list of changes here. A little new feature is the "on the fly" conversion of SVG Skin images to PNGs for the HTML5 output. This comes in handy if you want to use your panoramas within iBooks Author (more about iBooks will follow soon).

This new version of Pano2VR is bug fix release. The Mac App Store version fixes a bug where the Flash Skins didn’t work properly. A WebGL memory leak in the HTML5 player was fixed for all Pano2VR versions.
