We are very proud to announce the final release of Pano2VR 3.0 after almost 8 months in public beta. The major new features compared to 2.3 are:
HTML5 export (iPhone/iPad)
Multi Resolution
Transitions
Photoshop PSB/PSD and BigTIFF support
SVG/SWF objects in the Skin
We also did a lot of the improvements in every other part of the software. We like to thank everyone who beta tested and helped us to improved Pano2VR with their bug reports and suggestions.
To demonstrate some of the key features we created a short video:
As Pano2VR 3 is a major new release, this is for the first time a paid upgrade, however if you bought Pano2VR 2 since 1.1.2010 the upgrade is free. To buy or upgrade your license please visit the license page.
To show you some of those new features we updated the examples page. You can also use the iPhone friendly shortcut: http://ggnome.com/3.
A new tip has been added to the website, this covers basic html tags to format the text in the text fields. This works with User Data as well as other text boxes found in our software. A video is available as well as a downloadable skin file. Click here to see the tip.
Finally! We have updated our HTML5/CSS3 tutorial; both the written and the video.
HTML5 with CSS3 lets us display and interact with our panoramas without the need for Adobe Flash. This is especially useful if you wish to present your panoramas on any Apple touch device since they do not support Flash.
The Epson International Pano Awards showcases the work of panoramic photographers worldwide and is the largest and most important competition for panoramic photography.
This year they have added a VR photography category to the competition and we are proud to be sponsoring this event!

We just released a new beta for Pano2VR. This is mainly a bug fix release but also some new features have been added.
With this beta the preview image is saved along with the project so the “resizing” process can be avoided if the image has not changed. In combination with the experimental feature “smart loading” (you have to enable this in the settings) you can open gigapixel projects almost instantly.
Skins now support masking for containers and we added new actions that are triggered during multi resolution tile download. You can find the complete list of changes in the change log.
