Virtual tour of the exhibition

Oleg Mitiukhin

@Joshua Enslin
There is one question.
A virtual tour of the exhibition is a very useful tool, in particular, with the help of a virtual tour you can save information about temporary and permanent exhibitions.
I made changes when editing the virtual tour of the exhibition, added some additional elements and new scenes, however, these changes are not saved when viewing the virtual tour.
Maybe this is a bug.
I created a test temporary virtual tour, the panoramas will be replaced with higher quality ones, but I can experiment here.

Please, help

Thank you,
Changes are visible now.
But new changes from today in not visible agan.
How does it work? What is the condition for publishing changes made to the virtual tour of the exhibition?

Oleg, did you have problems uploading your Panorama pictures? How large ar the pictures. My have a size of up to 50 MB.

Oleg Mitiukhin

Heinz
Hello Heinz,
Yes, I had a problem with the large photos, but I'm reducing them. Right now, I have used panoramas from my phone, but I'll reshoot them on a full-frame sensor.

Heinz

Oleg Mitiukhin

which size did your photos have? I think 50 MB will be not to large for a 360° panorama.

Oleg Mitiukhin

Heinz
The files were 15-18MB in size (8500 x 4300px).
I tried 12000 x 6000, but failed (file size was 13-15MB)
I suppose the limit is on dimention in pixels, not size.

Heinz

Oleg Mitiukhin
Thanks, I reduced the final size to 8.000 pixels width. that worked. There seems to be a limit for uploading panorama pictures. Unfortunately the error message gives no advice for it. Will try 2¹³ = 8192.

Is it the maximum width ? It works with8192px

Oleg Mitiukhin

Heinz Yes, 8200 is appropriate size

https://kyiv.ua.museum-digital.org/exhibition/60764 - still the old version.

Heinz

Oleg Mitiukhin
Oleg, as far as Ican tell you, it is on you. I did delete the old panorama picture and replaced it by a new one. That worked for me. Without any intervention of the md staff.

Oleg Mitiukhin

Heinz Thank you,
I replaced the images and placed information points and transition points from one hall to another. Indeed, everything works fine.
What confused me was the preview of the exhibition if you enter it from the admin panel. There is an old version.
Apparently, this is some kind of bug in the internal panel. Very strange.

Please, help
The question is - why does the same 3D tour of the exhibition look different in these two locations?
The first one suits me completely, the second one is seriously distorted.

I agree, the second one has strange aspect ratio. But sorra, can not help with it.

Heinz

Oleg Mitiukhin
By the way, the museum looks great. like to visit it.

Oleg Mitiukhin

Heinz Thank you! Hope, all will be ok. Wellcome!

Hi Oleg, hi Heinz,

I wish I could really help. For me, the same happened. It's the same exhibition, even with the same iframe (the Ukrainian instance references the Kyiv instance for embedding there). But the tour in kyiv.ua... was distorted indeed.

After I pressed CTRL+F5, the distortion was solved. I'm really more of a backend person at heart, so I can only guess. But maybe it might be something in the direction of a bug in pannellum related to the initial scroll position from where the tour was started?

I solved this problem through the "Clear browsing data" feature in the browser (Chrome).
Everything is resolved.

We have a question.
Is it possible to add the Crimean Tatar language to the list of languages available for translation of individual fields of the museum object description?
There are quite a few languages in the list, including Chechen.

Joshua Enslin

Oleg Mitiukhin In short: Definitely. I moved the question to its own thread for an improved finability. See https://forum.museum-digital.info/d/52-additional-languages-for-translations-crimean-tatar
