Dear commoners
We see an increasing number of spherical panoramics on commons [1], which makes me happy. Those pictures are best viewed in a panoramic viewer.
Unfortunately when I compare our panoramic viewer [2] with the one i.e. on 360cities [3] - they use krpano [4] - I conclude: -Our Java system requires a faster computer than the Flash player resulting in slow loading or errors. -Our system is not able to progressively display the current view. That means it takes a longer time until you can start browsing. -The User Interface looks rather spartanic compared to the smooth one of krpano.
So the question is why not switch to a better system if it's available? After a quick look I got the impression that krpano is currently state of the art but you may know another program.
I'm interested to hear your opinions.
Regards
Robin
