HD Fullscreen 360° interactive viewer Plugin

New Version for Joomla 1.5 (Independant CSS File and more options)

DevalVR is actually the best VR viewer for panorama and 3D interactive. It can read .mov (QTVR) and .jpg pano files in HD (more than 40 Mega pixels) and Fullscreen. It is better than QuickTime, Java, Flash etc. for 360 degrees images. I wrote this plugin for install DevalVR, in Joomla, in less than one minute. This plugin allows to embed several panoramas 360° VR, where you want, in your Joomla sites with buttons to set "DevalVR viewer" or "QuickTime viewer". if DevalVR is not already installed on your browser, a link invites you to install it. It is very fast (only 200ko) and you will be able to admire the quality.

I totally agree with six gun : this is a great extension, works fine even for those who don't dispose of DevalVR - the extension also works with quicktime. It's easy to install and to use.
BUT, the extension can't work with IE7 and this really a bad limitation - i've desinstalled the extension because of that. The whole page can't even be load with IE7.
So i'm now waiting for an IE7 compatible version of DevalVR.... hope it won't be long.

The DevalVR 360 panoramic viewer is sensational - I recommend people go to www.devalVR.com and download the desktop player - it is much more than a player. The effects are an eye opener. I waited for this developer to release the J1.5 version and was downloading it within days.
It does the business - however I have two problems. The first is I get "Internet Explorer cannot open this website - operation aborted" I am not sure why. I even had advice from Fiero at DevalVR about some of the javascript. This is a shame. The coding and javascript file used on DevalVR.com does not stall IE7 so I am not sure what the problem is.

The base website for this extension is an excellent array of spherical panoramic images - I only wish I spoke and understood French a bit more.

I give it a "good rating" because it has introduced me to DevalVR and panoramic images. In all the other browsers it is great. I have mastered the coding needed to put this images on the screen and will be using this as IE7 plays ball. If the problem with IE7 I have found is resolved it will be fantastic - maybe IE8 will be better.
I tried a lot of plugins to view 360 degrees vr panoramas, but this one is the best I found, very small to download and install, it gives superb quality and a complete user menu inside the scene. In fullscreen mode it leaves you breathless... I'm just trying to understand if it supports nodes and links inside the movie.

Whishlist:

- a step by step guide to create a HD 360 panorama
- the possibility to use nodes and links inside the movie (I would like to create virtual walks through a city, so a user can visit a street and then continue the walk upon the street like in reality (in fs mode)
- possibilty to choose if a vr panorama could be opened in the same page or in a popup window (imagine to have a map of the city and have spots that you can hyperlink to the relative 360 movie that opens in a poput and leave opened the map)
