Notes from a Gnome

martin — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:33:20 +0000

We have just produced a new tip covering how to package the Flash output from either Object2VR or Pano2VR using the Flash Player Projector. This also packages the player with the files so they can be played on a computer even if it does not have Flash installed.
The Tip can be found here.

A fresh, new Object2VR tutorial is ready for your learning pleasure. This one showcases the Multiresolution feature which lets the viewer experience good resolution at different zoom levels (as opposed to zooming in to a blurry mess). Great for showing off detail in products!

Check out the tutorial.

We are very happy to welcome a new gnome to our company! Christoph will help us push the software forward as the list of ideas is getting longer and longer. We are thrilled to have him as part of our team!

Also, we are looking forward to catching up and meeting new people at the IVRPA conference 13-16th June in New York.

Tutorial: Multiresolution – Basic and Advanced

karyn — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:36:36 +0000

Yay! New multiresolution tutorials for Pano2VR are now up.

The Basic tutorial takes you through the initial steps and basic settings for outputting a multiresolution image.

The Advanced tutorial picks up where the Basic tutorial leaves off and goes into more detail about the advanced settings (this one is more of an explanation of the settings rather than a how-to).

As always we hope you enjoy them and learn something new!

Move Complete

…almost. We’ve just finished finding our way out of a tangle of packing tape. Just a few more finishing touches to the office and we’re done.

Now, I know most of you who read the previous post were probably quite curious to see the features I mentioned of the new office. I don’t want to keep anyone biting at their nails, so without further ado, the gold accented faucet,

the microwave/convection oven,

and what I know is making you all jealous, the wood burning stove.
