RPGTV 2024 - About

RPGTV2024 is a Pano2VR Virtual Tour project I've developed over nearly two years. It addresses my need for a platform that enables the publication of diverse media—including 360-degree panoramas and videos, photographs, information, and audio—in a Virtual Tour format. The project has been designed to be accessible on desktop and mobile devices without requiring users to delve into the underlying code.

Wherever possible, I’ve tried to create multiple ways of implementing a particular function to allow creative choice in the final output.

This blog contains posts that describe how to implement the options and settings associated with different elements within the project. The posts include:

Coming soon;

  • Pins

  • Responsive Hotspots

  • Exposed Colors

  • 360˚ Video in Hotspots

RPGTV Floorplan/Map Fixed Button

RPGTV Floorplan/Map Fixed Button

As a follow-up to the previous blog, Fixed Buttons V1, this blog will detail adding the Floorplan-Map or SVG Map button to the left-hand fixed buttons.

The Floorplan-Map button supports two visual displays: a floorplan and/or a map. The current location and associated tags determine the type of display.

The SVG Map button is a completely different concept in regard to an interface to locations within the tour. The SVG Map is based on a Floorplan map but uses a combination of PNG and SVG files to provide a scaleable solution for a fullscreen visual map layout.

RPGTV Thumbnail Scroller

RPGTV Thumbnail Scroller

This blog will detail adding a Thumbnail scroller to the UI, providing another option for navigation within the RPGTV2024 project framework.

Thumbnails in a virtual tour offer several advantages:

  1. Navigation: They allow users to quickly and easily navigate between different sections or rooms.

  2. Preview: Thumbnails provide a visual preview, helping users identify areas of interest.

  3. User Experience: They enhance the overall user experience by making the tour more intuitive and interactive.

  4. Efficiency: They save time by allowing users to jump directly to specific points in the tour without sequentially navigating through the entire space.

  5. Integration: They can provide a standalone option or work with menus, previous/next buttons, maps and floorplans.
