agreed. It would be a good idea to see other panorama sets on facebook. Certainly would broaden Pano2vr exposure.

@ 360Texas
Yes it is slow to download , I'm hosting my WordPress in a shared server :(
I'm surprised that u played the panos from my welcome tab page in the Facebook , is this has something to do with browser ? , what browser do u have used to play them, i can not managed it play them from there , i only see the thumbnail,
In my country most of the clients do not own websites and prefer to use Facebook due the cost and hosting issues of the dedicated website, that is why I'm trying hard to figure out how to embed their panos in Facebook, this will encourage many potential clients to invest in this type of multimedia and that this will open a new and promising market to my work, so i hope i can find a solution to fix this, i know some people succeeded to embed their panos in the Facebook , i will pray for some of them to show up and share their experience

You do not need to embed via iFrame a full site ... is sufficient to connect the tour's page

Your panoramas saw the whole world - you do not need to have a paid hosting you do not need a facebook ... because that long ago, there are special services for hosting and galleries for 360 panoramas, such as: Tourwrist, 360cities, ViewAt, TheSphere, Google Maps View...

Hi hum@no.id

i do not want that too , it looks not nice, but whatever hyperlink i tried to use to link to the tour page it comes out showing the whole site , may be this the way the WordPress works, I looked at the pages editing in the WordPress to fix this but i failed,or may be there a different iframe code i should use, your advice is appreciated
you do not need to have a paid hosting you do not need a Facebook
This sounds great, but the Facebook is very popular where i live , we have Facebook mania here, every client i show my work to the first question he asks is ( is it possible to publish it on facebook ?) , that will be very appealing and attractive to them, the problem with Facebook is that you need to embed the panos form already hosted website :(

I'm not sure if these services will allow upload of flash and html5 output with full interactive tours ie with your won skins
for example as i have read in the 360cities they only allow uploading flat equirectangular projection format

You can also connect to Facebook only your tour via IFRAME. Swf separately or Pano2VR HTML output page without Wordpress plugin from custom hosting folder.
~45 mb lots of - http://www.egamiphotography.com/wp-cont ... urpano.swf

wayspots.com allows uploading single panorama or full custom tour with own Skin in Flash format

Pano2VR Flash Output file with custom skin (see my example)

Awesome, thanks a lot hum@no.id, it works fine with me.
Agree 45mb is too large, it is not a final output , i was just experimenting , i need to resize it to 2-3mb,
i think in this case for each Swf/HTML output page i need to install a new iframe tab ,don't I ?
wayspots.com allows uploading single panorama or full custom tour with own Skin in Flash format
Thanks for sharing this info with me, I'm going to register immediately

just for for curiosity how did u know the URL (http://www.egamiphotography.com/wp-cont ... urpano.swf) :D :D
