Hi,

here a pre-release of next krpano 1.19 version - this version will be the first one with direct build-in Virtual Reality and Stereoscopic 3D support.

But before going into technical details, try the krpano VR demonstration below.

First prepare your system / device for VR

Desktop / Oculus Rift
For using the Oculus Rift DK1 or DK2 with krpano, it would be necessary to use a web browser that supports WebVR. WebVR itself is a new and still experimental browser API and not included in the normal browsers versions yet. There are special builds of Chrome and Firefox with WebVR support available here:
Chrome - Chromium WebVR Builds
Firefox - MozVR Downloads
For the best possible experience the Chromium WebVR version for Windows would be recommended. This version supports the Oculus Rift Direct-Mode with 75hz rendering, time-warp and low-persistence and this provides a performance and latency like native Oculus Rift applications.
Mobile devices with VR-Headsets (Cardboard, GearVR, VR ONE, ...)
Basically any Android, iOS or Windows-Phone mobile device with a VR-Headsets would work but there are a few requirements:
The mobile device / browser needs to support WebGL.
The device needs to have accelerometer and gyroscope sensors.
And the device should be pretty powerful / high-end and have a good large screen. The faster the device, the larger the screen and the higher the resolution the better it is for VR.
Additionally for Android there is also a special Chrome version with WebVR support available: Chromium WebVR Builds (ChromeShell_WebVR.apk). This version provides a slightly better sensor tracking and optionally also the usage of the Android Cardboard API for the screen setup and the lens distortion.

This way also a big thanks to Brandon Jones (Chrome developer) and to Vlad Vukicevic (Firefox developer) for their work on WebVR and bringing VR to the web!

krpano Panorama Viewer
The krpano Viewer is a small and very flexible high-performance viewer for all kind of panoramic images and interactive virtual tours. The viewer is available as Flash and HTML5 application. The viewer is designed for the usage inside the Browser on Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) and on Mobiles/Tablets (iPhone, iPad, Android, ...).

In addition to the krpano Viewer there are the krpano Tools - this are small tools and droplets which are helping to automatically prepare the panoramic images for viewing and making them ready-to-use. Making a pano or a tour is possible just by drag-and-drop.

Convince yourself by viewing the examples and / or by downloading the krpano Viewer and krpano Tools for free and try using them with your own panoramic images.
