krpano

Krpano is a Windows application for creating interactive panoramic images. You can use it for virtual tours. You can add menus, various controls and additional content. Installation of plug-ins to extend the functionality is supported.

File selection

After opening the program, you need to select an image to be used as the basis. Common formats are supported, including TIFF and RAW. The application works correctly with content in very high resolution. To optimize the load on the hardware, the panorama is loaded only partially, depending on the current angle. This allows for comfortable viewing even on relatively weak systems. As needed, other scenes are loaded in the background, which is not reflected visually. A similar technology has long been used by game developers for large game locations.

Development

The virtual tour is customized using the built-in code editor. This allows you to embed interactive elements for user interaction in the necessary areas. For example, you can add activation of a new clip or execution of a desired set of actions. At the design stage, you can select a view mode or use additional menus to select a new location. At the final stage of work the project can be saved in HTML5 format. Beginners are recommended to study the help section beforehand. This will simplify the work on the project and avoid mistakes. The presented material is enough to understand the principle of working with the program.
