Pano2VR 3.1.2 released

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

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.

Object2VR 2.0 released

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

We are proud to release the final version of Object2VR 2.0. After almost 3 years in beta I guess it is time to let go and name it with a proper version number. Since we could not resist, we added another feature since Object2VR 2.0b9 which is multiresolution. You can see a demo here.

To sum up the features of Object2VR:

  • single and multi-row VR object movies
  • multiple view states
  • fully customizable skin
  • hotspots
  • multiresolution
  • Flash, HTML5 and QuickTime VR export

Pano2VR 3.1.0 released

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

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.

Object2VR 2.0 beta 9 released

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

After way too long, we are happy to announce a new beta of Object2VR. The new features for this beta are:

  • HTML5 export
  • SWF and External elements in the Skin
  • Margins in the Skin
  • Updated Qt framework
  • Many bug fixes
  • New license model

As object movies don’t need any specific 3D features in HTML, the HTML5 exported object movies also work in older browsers, down to even Internet Explorer 6. Depending on the browser features not all functions may be available. In particular, the zoom/fullscreen and area hotspots require a modern browser. The HTML object movies work with all features on Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, Safari 5, Opera 11 and mobile devices like the iPad, iPhone, Playbook and Android devices.

You can see some examples at http://ggnome.com/o .

We also changed the license model to match the new Pano2VR license model. If you already have an Object2VR license nothing changes. For new customers the licenses are now issued per seat and you can add the unbranded option.
