Integration

This integration is built by the Igloo Vision development team utilising the WebXR compatibility feature of Chaos Cloud. This feature is documented here: https://documentation.chaos.com/space/VCLOUD/126495776/Virtual+Reality .

The integration supports both panoramas and virtual tours.

Usage

Upload your rendered panoramas to Chaos Cloud. https://blog.chaos.com/enscape-panoramas-meet-chaos-cloud

Uploading images and videos to Chaos Cloud.


Follow these steps in Igloo Core Engine:

  • Create a WebView layer.

  • Allow popups in this layer.

  • Add the metadata keys:

    • webxr

    • webxr/cubeFaceSize - set this to an appropriate pixel resolution e.g. 1000, 1500 or 2000.

    • webxr/emulatedControllerType - set this to ‘aframe/oculus-touch’.

  • Enter cloud.chaos.com into the URL box or paste the URL of an Enscape virtual tour into the WebView URL. You will need to login to your Chaos Cloud account.

  • Save your session.

  • Click on an image or video, and then click the ‘Toggle VR’ button to activate the integration. The WebView layer will render the image as a cubemap and the required effects will be automatically added (Cubemap to Equirectangular and TruePerspective).

Virtual Tours

Panoramas can be grouped together into Virtual Tours complete with navigation and information hotspots. An example virtual tour (of a hotel room) in Chaos Cloud is here: https://cloud.chaos.com/collaboration/virtual-tour/Hqu3ftGXqyY6nGkwzsciNm . To enter the tour, click the ‘Start virtual tour’ button.
