Instructions and PTViewer created by Helmut Dersch.
This example, showing the Mitchell Point geocache location, demonstrates the use of high resolution zoomable images inside PTViewer.
It consists of a medium resolution 360° Panorama (2000x437 pixels,
164kByte) and two high resolution rectilinear images (field of view 18°, and 0.4° ~40kByte each).
Viewer Instructions:
-
After the main panoramic image is downloaded, a view of Mitchell Point is displayed. You can navigate and turn around like in
other VR-Panoramas: Click and move the mouse to pan and tilt; While
panning, use control and shift keys to zoom in and out; Alternatively,
use the arrow keys for panning and tilting, and + and -, or > and <
keys to zoom, or use the control buttons.
-
When the first high resolution image has finished downloading,
a red button labeled "Zoom" pops up in the lower left part of the viewer
window. Click it to automatically zoom in and see Joel and Brad.
-
When the second high resolution image has finished downloading,
a yellow button labeled "more" is displayed to the right of the red button.
Click it to continue zooming into the image on Joel's T-shirt (enhanced).
-
The high resolution images can be turned off by clicking
the button in the right lower corner of the viewer window (marked with
a black dot), and back on using the button to the left (red dot). Turning
on requests take a few seconds to process.
The source images for the PTViewer applet can be downloaded
separately
