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

After some back an forth with Apple, Pano2VR is now finally in the Mac App Store!

The current version in the Mac App Store differs from the normal Mac version in regards of file handling and other smaller changes required by Apple. Also the droplet feature is missing. Our plan is to sync the versions with the next minor release.

This year, the PanoTools Meeting took place in Vienna and as usual, we had a fantastic time. Thanks for coming out and making the Meeting a special event.

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.
