Stereo Viewer

The photos below should not be displayed as downloaded from the server, but in a more active way..

If you are interested in using same viewer in your web site. Please contact us, we might talk, to adapt it if needed, as it is in an early stage of development and probably used only here, and we’d discuss some reasonable priced license (based on traffic). Not decided quite yet, but probably, there would be a free license for low traffic and non-profit webs..

Current features

  • auto detect Left-Right 3D images in the page/post on WordPress site and replace them with viewers
  • display user hint until hidden forever
  • context menu available on the viewers
  • display modes
    • mono
    • 3d wobble/wiggle (regulated speed)
    • anaglyph red-cyan
    • Left-Right, Right-Left
      • keeping image axis in the axis of display port halves (useful for cross view, parallel view or VR glasses)
    • LR with RL together
  • settings for existing features
    • stored in the browser per site
    • reset to defaults
    • auto stored upon change
    • no need to reload when settings change (where it makes sense)
  • optional toolbar to switch modes in main view
    • visible by default
    • without saving changed current view mode
    • also settings, play, and hide buttons
    • uses cool cube icons, that represent, what happens
  • slideshow
    • uses full screen
    • on PC – without orientation sensor – fixed interval
    • on mobile device, regulated by phone orientation (in horizontal mode)
    • until ended, screen won’t lock
    • experimental
      • contactless pan&zoom for VR – based on phone orientation
  • multi-resolution
    • where multiple resolution sizes are available (like wordpress) viewer picks a slightly bigger than the original, if possible

Planned features

  • google authentication
    • sync view across multiple devices (imagine one has VR glasses, and the author hears the comments while watching same thing on the PC)
  • wider support for filenames
  • wider support for image embedding kinds (not just figure in WordPress)
  • whatever might be interesting for both us and paying user
  • options to display title from the figure, display it twice in LR/RL modes
  • options to display sync dots for LR/RL modes
  • license check
    • per hostname
    • per page displays
    • per images on page
    • would have some gray zones, where it would still work, but notify us about need to change

Known issues

  • missing docs for the VR touchless
  • some azimuths in pan&zoom do not work quite well
  • next will maybe do some of the planned features
    • probably the sync dots or license
