Circumspectus in tempore - A panorama through time.
Demo with HDR panoramas (requires 2 MB/s of download speed and an up-to-date browser - preferably Chrome)
https://github.com/NiHoel/cirspecte
Cirspecte is a browser based, free, and open source tool for creating and viewing panorama tours. Built with modern web standards it supports high resolution and high dynamic range panoramas.
- Available as a web version and Windows app
- Display 360° spherical or cube map panoramas (cropped panoramas are supported too)
- Small storage footprint for panoramas (just a single image file required)
- Viewing tours from the local filesystem
- Create tours that allow users to travel through time
- Editor for compositing custom tours
- Support for precise panorama placement and orientation
- Displaying single panoramas (not the focus of this software)
- Fancy features added to a panorama
- Use external programs to stitch panoramas, see (https://havecamerawilltravel.com/photographer/panorama-stitching-best-apps/) for an overview
- Or use panoramas from the web, e.g.: https://polyhaven.com/hdris
- Download the editor software: https://github.com/NiHoel/cirspecte-cordova/releases/latest (*)
- Select (or drop) a folder that contains the panorama images
- When you select a folder for the first time, the software will ask you to create a tour and specify a name.
- Follow the instructions in the help dialog (accessible via the '?' button on the top left of the website)
(*) The web version of the editor software: https://nihoel.github.io/cirspecte/edit.html It has the same features as the desktop version, except that it cannot modify files of the local filesystem. This means: No tour export, manual saving by downloading and all files must be "uploaded" when starting the software (don't worry all processing happens in the local browser)
Since Cirspecte is built with recent web standards, it requires a modern browser to function.
- Firefox 50+
- Chrome 30+
