As far as I can tell I'm the only person for miles doing full screen VR - so I really appreciate this discussion group and all the useful information the archive contains, even if I only understand a portion of it.

I'd really appreciate any feedback and comments/suggestions on what I'm doing here.

Here's the page I put together:

Nice - and did you actually get a ticket to the Led Zeppelin gig at the O2? I tried so hard! I swore that I'd never set foot inside that soulless stadium again after seeing Prince there. (Prince was jaw-droppingly good, but the venue itself had the worst atmosphere/vibe I can remember. Even Cheez Whiz is less processed than O2 gig-goers!)
But for Led Zeppelin I'd have made an exception so fast it would have broken all land-speed records.


Your panos seem a little large in file size. I took the liberty of downloading your subway.mov pano and running it through CubicConverter. Without changing the cubeface size (1908px is fine) I compressed it at 40% rather than the 64% it seems to be and shaved 2MB from the size... and the appearance was the same. At CubicConverter's 34% JPEG quality it dropped substantially below 2MB - taking the file size down to around 65% of the original pano. There were then slight hints of JPEG artifacting (very faint colouring in some flat tones), but still pretty subtle stuff.

What hardware and software do you use?
