Integration

This integration is built by the Igloo Vision development team utilising the WebXR compatibility feature of Pano2VR.

Usage

Ensure your virtual tour is compatible:

Export your tour to Web Output using the latest version of Pano2VR (version 7.1)
Include the Enter VR button in your tour skin. https://ggnome.com/doc/pano2vr/guide/export/export-vr/

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.
Paste the URL of your Pano2VR virtual tour into the WebView URL.
TIP: this is a good point to save the WebView as a session.

When the tour has loaded, click the VR button to activate the integration. The WebView layer will render the tour as a cubemap and the required effects will be automatically added (Cubemap to Equirectangular and TruePerspective).

Enter VR button shown on the tour skin (bottom right). The location for this button will vary depending on the tour skin.

Enter VR button - close-up, just above settings icon.

Cubemap view of the tour after the Enter VR button has been pressed. Effects are automatically added.

Example Tour

The Pano2VR team provide an excellent set of example tours (https://ggnome.com/pano2vr/).

The Model Home tour has an Enter VR button and can be used with our integration: https://vtour.cloud/0cdw87ml/o3qw7360/

Limitations

Virtual Tours built using earlier versions of Pano2VR will not be compatible with this integration.
The position of popups may need to be adjusted in the tour so they appear in the desired location on the Igloo canvas.
