For the past month I’ve been working toward a greater project called “Envi”. Essentially it’s a wordpress theme which will allow people to create “Myst” like environments using an array of free tools. The first step toward this ultimate goal is the Panoscoper plugin which is made to take any object (including embedded video objects) and wrap them as though they were 360° virtual environments. For this 1.0 release, the options are quite simple:
- framewidth:
- The width of the viewing frame
- Default is 4:3 ratio of height
- frameheight:
- The height of the viewing frame
- Default is object height
- offsetview:
- The offset to start viewing from
- Default is 0
- speed:
- The amount of movement
- Default is 80
- compass:
- Use the compass to indicate direction
- Default is true
- compassIMG:
- Set the location of the compass image
- Default is ‘compass.png’
Heres a demo:
$("#baltimore").panoscope({frameheight:600,framewidth:500});

Heres a test using a vimeo video, not very functional yet but you get the idea
$("#vimeotest").panoscope({
frameheight:400,
framewidth:400,
offsetview:1000
});

Future Enhancements:
- CSS Bulletproofing
- Panning up and down
- Image overlays
- Vimeo Detection and Autoplay of clone.
- Compass offset
- Minimap
Not tested in Internet Exploder, be warned.
P.S. iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch Compatible!
