[NEW PLUGIN] Panorama viewer - 360 Virtual Tour
Hello fellow Bubblers!
We have recently published a new plugin and would like to share this news with you:
Panorama viewer - 360 Virtual Tour - no-code plugin allows you to bring virtual tours and panoramic photos into your Bubble app. You can easily create interactive virtual tours, maps, and presentations. The plugin also supports information and navigation markers (HotSpots), which can provide information about specific areas within a scene or provide navigation to other rooms or areas.
Panoramic images can be provided in either equirectangular or cube map formats. Equirectangular is the simplest to use as only a single image is needed. However, to ensure support among all WebGL-capable devices, the maximum image size should be preferably limited to 4096px wide; 8192px is also acceptable for most devices. Cube maps require six images but support somewhat higher resolution panoramas, as the vast majority of devices support cube faces up to 4096px across. Although larger images are supported, download sizes should be taken into consideration. This format is a cube map-based format, except each cube face is a tiled image pyramid instead of a single image.
Since it is not obvious from the examples, it is prudent to note that the hotSpotDebug parameter exists to aid in the placing of hot spots. It can be enabled while setting up the hot spots, but it should always be disabled in production.
pannellum.js was used in the process of creating the plugin.
