Anyone fancy a little sensory overload on a Monday morning? I’ve been
experimenting. Again. This is the Origin stage at Glade festival,
revisited with direction-sensitive audio loops:

When you’ve had your fill of this then head over to the Spiral Chill
area to mellow out a little:
http://www.panoramaphotographer.com/festivals/glade08/spiralchillarea.html
Speakers required. Dive into the full-screen option, and don’t forget
to try out the ‘little planet’ view as well. There is also a Sound
Off button if it all gets too much but you want to keep looking
around.
(If only I could close up the tiny hiccup when repeating audio loops…)

Great stuff Keith.
I’m interested that it loads really quickly and the sound is in stereo
also. What sort of file size is it?

The Origin stage photo (made of six ‘cubeface’ images) is about
620KB, and the three audio loops are 70KB, 150KB and 280KB.
The Spiral Chill pano image is a bit over 700KB, and each of the
three audio loops is a bit over 200KB.
The audio is preloaded as soon as the KRPano player ‘engine’ (a 95KB
.swf file) reads the relevant XML config file, so it will generally
start playing before the image has finished loading.
Getting my head around writing the XML to control everything had been
a bit tough - the documentation is large but not exactly accessible!
But I’ve cracked it for some things.
Glad you like it!

Surprised at how small it all is!
The wonder’s of modern technology eh?

Heh. Well, expanses of black compress fairly well of course, and the
audio loops aren’t very long. And the actual heavy-duty part of the
player lies within the Flash plugin, which (virtually) everyone has
already.
But yep, it is still pleasingly small. Part of the trick of all this
panorama stuff is finding the right balance of quality vs. file size.
Keeps me on my toes!
