fpp on Iphone

[_Marcus]

hello,
I thought it would be nice to carry some panoramas with my on my iphone. This way I could show people what I do if I meet them.

Do you know a way to present a flash player panorama offline on your I phone?

cheers, Marcus

hi,

Nice thought, I had the same. But the iphone is a pain for displaying panos:

1. Apple removed QTVR from their QuickTime player embed in the iphone, even if QTVR was in QT since 97! No luck for the quicktime pano here!
2. No java support for the iphone. Forget about java based panos.
3. no Flash support, even if Adobe said that their player would work on the iphone. And mostly the flash player will *never* be supported on the iphone, because Apple would loose a large market place. Thus forget fpp and all flash based panos viewers.

Now, that leaves you with two "solutions" for displaying panos on the iphone:

1. CubeWorld
2. PangeaVR

These are apps you need to download from the Apple Store.

I've never been able to make CubeWorld work correctly (terrible documentation), maybe that it improved since August..

PangeaVR might be exactly what you're looking for in its paid version (~20$), as it allows you to see panos offline.

Hope it helped.

hi nidrig,
that´s what I was looking for :) big thanks!

The pay version enables to save your panos on your Iphone. Here is a tutorial to create a Iphone version of your panoramas

works great. I was able to view my panoramas on my Iphone after 15 minutes :)

The new Iphone Firmeware 2.2 supports Google Streetview and thats (as I know) in Flash.

So, I think it will be possible to see Panos in Flash on the Iphone in future - but i dunno if the ressources of the Iphone is good enough.
