Hehe i can see my work inspires here ;) (toolbar)

Well your panos run slow on my dual core, so you maybe got to do something with segments params or quality to make them run smoother.

Thanks for comments.
I reduced segments to 20 - now you have smoother panoexperience :)

keose,

Lots to like here! Your logo, typography and overall site design are quite pleasing. But I may offer a few, humble suggestions.

I'm not certain what jaaaab saw as your panos running slow unless it was in loading. That could be the result of using loaderStreamed and loaderBandwidth. LoaderBandwidth has no purpose other than local testing to simulate slower loading over the net, as far as I know. It will slow things down on a live site so dump it. Loader streamed also slows things down, and its only benefit is to show the preview track of the initial image. After that, the way you have it set up, no preview tracks show anyway and pano loading overall slows, especially in Firefox. If you want a low res preview load one separately for your first pano, then your full res pano. But dump loaderStreamed, IMO.

Definitely take your segments back up to 25 at least to reduce wavy lines. Whatever jaaaab was seeing I can't imagine this would help.

Your music track, while nice, gets redundant quickly. I would suggest changing it from time to time, maybe scene to scene and/or lengthening the loop. And definitely look at Denis' new mp3player to replace the outdated one on your site.

I would suggest having the pano menu automatically get out of the way when you click on a new pano. The less clutter the better, IMO. Similarly you might consider reducing your buttons' size.

The Tarvaspää site absolutely begs for hotspot movement from one node to another since so many are visible one to the next. Possibly use a zoom effect to imply motion to the next node.

Also, with a site like this, you could consider clicking on some pictures in the scene and having higher res versions pop up so you can see/read them better. You might consider adding some kind of "tour guide", either audio or text, describing the scene.

And what is that arrow in the first floor gallery all about. Clicking on it does nothing. Sadly I can't criptic translation, "axis gallery - askew rekkitanko" doesn't help much...:confused:

Again, you have done an excellent job here. Take my suggestions for what they seem worth.

Its loading as fast as any other sites,
His loaderbandwith is at 400 and that is faster than I ever get across the atlantic.
I have a 6 megabit connection and it loads very fast.
From US I never get more than 3-4 megabit.

The arrow, well if you look a little more on it it is a sign on the door, not an hotspot.
Hotspots move a little, it does not.

Hans,

Your right. Really not sure what jaaaab was having problems with, then. I might still dump loaderStreamed, though, if just because of issues with Firefox.

I don't think we are looking at the same thing. This blue arrow is near the ceiling in the first pano in the first floor pano menu and seems to be pointing at a kind of trapeze, looking at it again. Maybe if I understood Finish....
