How to get HTML5 as sharp as Flash ?

[Alain]

HTML5 is very unsharp on my Desktopcomputer (Firefox), but using Flash is sharp.

Flash:

HTML5:

I've seen this has been discussed in other Threads, but none seems to have a clear answer.

How can I get the same sharpness for HTML5 as I get with Flash ?
Cubelength is the same in Flash and HTML5.

I have noticed that you are placing HTML5/Flash comments around the forum. So I will try to reply only in this thread.

Thanks for showing use the two screen captures.
I can see the orange building as well as the upper areas of the left side building are out of focus... or not being displayed properly with HTML5 projection.
The only common element is that you are using Firefox.

Noticed that you are displaying these two samples using Pano2vr's "local host" server.
Which version of Pano2vr are you using ?

What version of Firefox are you using as your default browser? Some browsers have yet to be fully HTML5 content compliant.

Have you tried making IE 11 or Chrome your default browser then try to repeat the issue ?

Thanks for taking time for my question.

Using Firefox 43.0.4, in IE 11 it looks unsharp as well. Never tried Chrome.
Using Pano2VR 4.5.

Is there a way to get a sharp panorama with HTML5 ?

Would you consider posting to your server that same panorama in html5 with Flash fall back. Then provide the URL.

We then can independently try different browsers and see if we get the same results as your samples.

New browsers handle HTML5 differently because they use different driver set modules.

OH and Pano2vr current stable release is 4.5.3 not 4.5.

Thanks in advance.

I don't understand your intention.

If for example Chrome would render it sharper than IE and Firefox, what's the conclusion then ?
Would it help to get sharper Panoramas on IE and Firefox ?

Right now your issue appears to be a Pano2vr 3.5.x? display issue. This could involve, video drivers or maybe simple as specific browser ability to display HTML5 content.
Having other forum members help try to duplicate your issue would speed up the process.

Using Firefox and the left side of the viewer is displaying a near out of focus 'orange' building and upper portions of the left building.
What happens when you rotate the left building and orange building to mid center of the viewer ? Do they stay out of focus ? Do other parts of the panorama go out of focus?

Have you tried downloading and installing free version Pano2vr 5.0.b4 in a separate folder . Try to duplicate - Do you get the same results ?

SebastianS from the forum showed me a solution with "multiresolution" with one of my panoramas.
This way HTML5 gets sharp as well.

Comparison see here:

HTML5

This also means, as I guessed, that it has nothing to do with video drivers or browser abilities.

But thanks for taking you time trying to solve the problem.

I suspect you are correct.

I am pleased you resolved your issue by properly using Multi-res.
