Question about "polygonal structure"

[AnibalDuarte]

I found this amazing tool searching on Google and it fits almost perfectly what I seek. But a colleague asked me whether it would be possible to create not a cube but a multifaceted environment with six or eight sides so we could use more frames and thus get more coverage in the panoramic photos. He is a photographer and want to create montages with photos within these parameters in large environments, such as football stadiums, to create promotional events albums with tools like "you were there? Then find your place in the crowd!".

So the question is: would it be possible to adapt the code so that the horizontal axis accept "four or more" images instead of just four by default?

There are 6 sides up, down, left, right, front and back. I am not grasping what is wrong with the default 6. Just stitch your photo bigger and make a bigger cube. If you get too big, there is another program open source program, I would have to hunt for the name of, that will allow you to use a deepzoom. With those you can get into gaga pixels if you wish

I think I was misunderstood. My idea is to create a polygon with more than six faces , with a roof, a floor and the rest distributed around the vertical axis. This would allow panoramic photos of "non cubic" locations (such as football stadiums that are oval shaped ) had a more compelling coverage.

At this point I am still at a loss why you need another shape. Have you ever stitched a pano or seen how others stitch a pano(think hugin for an open source program)? A pano is generally made of many photos stitched together. Not just 4. When I do it I am shooting anywhere from 6-70 photos. I stitch them together into a single big image. I then take that big image and process it to make the cube that is used by Leandigo and the others.

Also you might want to take a look at

I personally have my tours set up to work with flash first, http://kvtours.com/p/HarborView.html
pannellum second http://kvtours.com/p/player/5/webGL/index.htm?xml=./source/xml/HarborView.xml
and leandigo 3rd http://kvtours.com/p/player/5/css3/index.html?xml=./source/xml/HarborView.xml

Those are the same tour, just different open source players. The flash does not work on phones. Pannellum works on about half last time I checked. Leandigo works on most things I have tried(Does not work on FireFox!), but does not have the deepzoom that the other two have. The low quality menu on the side is my stop gap fix. Some time I need to make a better one. Each of those panos was done with about 65 images. Most are bracketed so figure 23 real images.

I have not gotten too deep into the coding, but have learned that simple shapes are better for performance reasons and cubes are about as simple as it can be. One of these programs will take a pano and warp it for a sphere, but the lead coder noted it was not a good idea for big images.

Anyway I got off topic. If you have not stitched a pano before I can hunt up the tutorial that got me started if you want. For basic results it is pretty easy. More advanced results are a bit harder if you are open source, but very doable. As far as I know even the biggest panos of football stadiums and every thing else is done in a similar way.

I have seen one of those find your place in the crowd things done in a football stadium. I forget now how many photos that guy took, but it was in the high hundreds, he stitched it into a single massive image, cubed and deepzoomed it. It was pretty cool how he did it you could mark yourself and it would link to your facebook page. I think it was flash based, but it has been a while.
