Hi,
I do not own a GearVR and I'm not planning to get one (because I have to buy a new phone too, and iPhones are expensive enough) but I have customers asking if the tour can also be viewed in a GearVR. Searching the Forum I saw this thread saying it is already a feature request to have GearVR output possibilities. Another thread on the same subject "
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10655&start=15" claiming it is available in 5.1 ...
I looked a bit further on the Pano2VR website and found this text about HMD output (
http://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/5/hmd-how/):
"Output for GearVR
- Load the panorama or tour.
- Add hotspots, patches, etc.
- Open the Transformation output.
- Choose Horizontal Strip (VR) as the Type.
- Enter the size of the strip.
- Generate the output.
- Add the strip to the Oculus app to view in Gear VR."
I followed this guide and I obviously cannot start the strip in the Gear VR cause I don't have one .... but ..... the output is a bunch of strips, for each pano one strip ....
How could this be a virtual tour ? Is this only a guide to show just one panorama in the GearVR (but why did I have to add the hotspots then), or are there actual hotspots to be stared at like in the Google Cardboard output ?
Regards,
Arjan
