I've tested it across a range of browsers, but I'd appreciate any

I have just tested it on my Opera 11.61 under windows

but getting this message.

Works with
Firefox 12.0 and
Chromium 18.0.1025.151 (Developer Build 130497 Linux) Ubuntu 10.04

on Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bit.

You example works fine in Safari 5.1.7 and Firefox 12.0 on Mac OS X, also
in full screen.
Further tests will follow.

I get a message saying “A browser supporting webgl (and the canvas element)
is required to view this panorama.” on my iPad. I was hopeful that there
would be a way of presenting panoramas on the ipad but this isn’t it, it
seems.

With the built-in browser (Android 2.2.2 Froyo), the viewer reports missing
WebGL support, which is probably true for that browser.

With Firefox 10.0.4 for Android, downloaded from Google Play just now,
after I tap the Load Panorams button, it says Loading for a while, and then
two thirds of the pano area turns black, and then nothing happens. I
googled for Webgl support in Firefox for Android, and it seems some users
have to turn it on (set webgl.force-enabled to true in about:config) before
it works. However, this didn't change anything for me.

After also enabling webgl.force_osmesa as suggested by e.g.
http://goo.gl/x1zEg it didn't work, but now I get the no webgl support
message like with the built-in browser.

I'll try testing on my computer later.

Btw, if you plan on translating the viewer into other languages, I'll be
able to do a Danish translation, for what it's worth :-)

So I guess implementing this one means sites have to provide it PLUS
another panorama viewer, or rudely lock people out.

great work! :) Linux, Ubuntu 64 and SeaMonkey (some kind of Firefox)

I wonder, however - how large may the panoramas become, before it gets
laggy (or browsers crash)? For example, I don't know a browser
displaying a half-a-gigapixel image directly, so that'd be at least one
limitation...

Hi, didn't work here on a firefox 11 on windows XP. Got a black screen
after clicking to load the panorama. No error messages.

Some ideas would be implementing cube faces, maybe with multi-resolution
and a way to detect HTML5 browsers and redirect to another place in case it
doesn't support it. I have done like this in many panoramas with VR 5 pano
viewer <http://www.vrhabitat.com/#vr5>. It detects iPad and iPhone and
jumps to another link in negative cases, where I put a Salado Player.

The VR5 pano viewer uses 2 cubes with 2 different resolutions, one with
1024 pixels size and another with 480.

I like your initiative to do something about the state of the
available web panorama viewers. If it weren't for those poor IE users,
it would be dead obvious, that WebGL is the way to go (and I have a
tendency trying to ignore those whenever I can ;)). I did some
experiments regarding WebGL and panorama viewing myself some time ago:

    http://lizardq.com/posts/experimental-webgl-panorama-viewer/

Although, my focus was primarily on getting some HDR panorama viewing
feature onto our website.

You seemed to be interested in a low a footprint script. I have about
400 lines of js and another 120 GLSL code (but admittedly using jquery
for convenience). The geometrical approach I used is different: there
is no textured 3D structure approximating a sphere and then looking at
it from the inside. I render a simple viewport sized quad and use a
fragment shader to find the proper pixel position in the source
texture for each pixel in the viewport.

You or anyone who is interested should be able to get a look at the
(uncompressed) code if you know your browser web debugging facilities.
If you think replacing tree.js with some GLSL code might be
interesting, let me know.

Works well, no glitches I could see. I had to enable WebGL support in
the browser first, using the following steps:
1. Type about:config in address bar
2. In the search box type webgl.
3. To enable WebGL, set webgl.force-enabled to true.

On the WebGL page (http://get.webgl.org/) is says:
Your browser supports WebGL
However, it indicates that support is experimental; you might see issues with some content.

Did not go further than the panorama though.

Hi, didn't work here on a firefox 12 on windows XP. Got a black screen
after clicking to load the panorama. No error messages.  Visiting the WebGL
site says that it is supported but experimental, but there simple cube
rotated.

While we are at it listing interesting players, I like to remember
PTViewerNG by Prof. Dr. Dersch:

Working Player:
http://www.diy-streetview.com/webgl/PTViewerNG/index.html
His Website:
http://webuser.hs-furtwangen.de/~dersch/

Does anyone know what Mr. Dersch is up to right now pano-wise?
My communication attempts have all been unsuccessful.

What I really would like to see is adding support for multi-resolution
tiles.
I am hoping for a kind of drop-in replacement for the Google player.

Thanks,
Jan

Chromium 18.0.1025.151, installed from the Ubuntu repositories: The viewer
tells me: "A browser supporting WebGL (and the canvas element) is required
to view this panorama". In about:gpu Chromium reports:

Firefox 12.0, installed from the Ubuntu repositories: Works nicely! Also in
full-screen. Doesn't have the drag-out-off-the-pano-area problem described
above.

Very nice. I've tested it on Linux 64 bit (Debian testing, Nvidia
graphics card with drivers 295.49-1) ans the results are the
following :
1. Iceweasel (Firefox) 12.0 : works perfectly (fullscreen too)
2. Google Chrome 19.0.1084.52 : works perfectly (fullscreen
     too)
3. Opera 11.64.1403 : I get the message "A browser supporting
    WebGL (and the canvas element) is required to view this panorama."

I'll test it it on some heavier panoramas and keep you informed.

I can certainly change the text from "Load Panorama" to "Click to Load
Panorama." As for translations, there is no client side way for
detecting language that I know of, so it's a bit of a moot point; if
one wants to host it on a page in a different language, one can just
change the strings in the hosted copy. I might consider changing the
base implementation and adding some sort of image pyramid support in
the future, but I don't plan on adding new feature or developing it
much more until WebGL support matures more.

It would be nice to be able to use the cursor arrows to control the
panning (but I have no idea if that is technically likely. Possibly in
the full screen mode?)

Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to use it for my own
panoramas. I hope it can to partial panoramas (as that is mostly what
I shoot.)
I look forward to experimenting with it and appreciate your hard work.
