Flash panoramas

You all know panoramic images on panoye can be viewed in two ways: default and java viewer (thanks to Helmut Dersch's ptviewer applet).

But, since java is becoming less popular - more and more people couldn't use the second option. Thanks to Denis Chumakov's flash player, after today's upgrade you can use flash player to see all 360° panoramas.

Here's an example, Marvic's "Muela De Urbion";



To move - click on the panorama and move the mouse arrow left or right.

Weekend upgrade

Just a few changes, but it took me two three days to upgrade. Here they are:

• SEO friendly links (for example, panoye.com/panorama.356-libourne-bridge-hdr.html instead of panoye.com/panorama-show.356.html)
• Images for java applet viewer (see the forum post for more info)
• ...and a few more minor enhancements...

Also, I changed the max file size to 1mb (from 2mb).

2mb images were too big for javascript viewer -- the image had to be resized after uploading. Since there were problems even with java viewer -- now four image resizes have to be made after uploading your panorama... One for javascript viewer, and one for java/applet, one for the thumbnail, and one for the mini-thumbnail. And that takes too long -- for some images 10-15 seconds!

Full spherical panoramas

Just upgraded to a new version. The upgrade is about the java/applet viewer. Now it will open in a new window, and it is bigger than the normal javascript version.

Example with full spherical panorama: Alpe d'Huez Resort. Vincèn, who is the author, has a web page SkiVR where he promises us more panoramas from ski resorts!
