Virtual Tour (Pannellum)

Overview

• Virtual Tour is built using WebGL and JavaScript, with a sprinkling of HTML5 and CSS3.
• It can run standalone or can be embedded using either an or a JavaScript API.
• The stand-alone method, which is used for embedding, is the easiest and simplest to use, but the JavaScript API is more powerful and provides tighter integration.
• Internally, the standalone viewer parses URL parameters to build a JSON-based configuration and then instantiates the viewer using the JavaScript API.
• The standalone viewer accepts a subset of configuration parameters as URL parameters; the rest of the parameters can be set using a JSON configuration file specified using the special config URL parameter.

Panorama formats

• Panoramic images can be provided in either equirectangular, cube map, or multiresolution
  formats.
• This module provides a field formatter for Equirectangular virtual tour effect (panorama
  effect).
• An image style is selected for the default display image and an additional
  the style is selected to be used as the Pannellum image.

Requirements

• This module depends on the core Image module and Libraries API being enabled.
  The Pannellum jQuery plugin is used for the Panoram effects.

Install

• Run npm install in Virtual Tour module.
