Back in the original pano hosting discussion thread (Hosting pano/360 photos) there was another way of showing them which needed something to be in place on the server?
This would have enabled a “better” method to show them, that also allowed for full screen display.
@RaRaRasputin put up an example on his server : Where can I fly my drone in the UK? - Error
That example is 19mb … and if you zoom in, there’s more than enough detail.
If we were to fully host them at a higher res, etc, that method is a preferable one, imo.
(I think there were some stitching issues in that causing some blur - not the method of displaying panoramas.)
Edit:
- With people uploading to the GADC server, there was also the issue that the forum’s media cleanup routine deleted the images, since it didn’t recognise the use of the images in that script, or the one we currently use.
This problem would need to be resolved. (Hence using imgur) - What would be really cool would be an automated routine to upload and create the relevant script for them. I don’t have those skills, but perhaps someone does.
It would save having to copy/paste/edit those lines of HTML.
… just thinking aloud, here.
