Online interactive app or hyperlinked images - any ideas?

[Morne]

Hi all

I will have a 2D floorplan with various spaces. I will need to be able to click on a camera in a 2D space, which will popup or split the screen in half and show the view of the camera I clicked on. I need to be able to go back to the plan and click on a different camera for a new view. There's different ways to approach this so I would like your input on your recommendations. It could either be online or a standalone application?

1) I could use pure html for this and just add hyperlinks. This is a "silly" way of approaching this I think
2) Virtual Reality in the form of VRML? Does VRML even still exist and does browsers still support this on all platforms?
3) Somehow I could do it with WebGL? This option looks interesting, is it supported on all platforms?
4) Can something like Unreal 4 or Unity do this? Can I export it to a online version accesible on any platform?
5) What about something like PanoVR etc?
6) Any other suggestions?

Whichever option I go for, I need to be able to set and control the FOV and angle of the camera. If not controlled, at least the FOV.
Any comments or ideas?

Yes something like that, sort of. I need to add some more options in the "dots" you see on the plan view. Was that done with panovr or they have their own solution?

I may also need to be able to control the functions of the viewer, using an external application

I think they use something proprietary, but I am not sure.

Also, I need to be able to restrict the camera to NOT be 360, maybe only 40 or so...

krpano can do all of this.

you will need to do some customizing to get it to work though.

If I have KRPano, why would I also need Kolor Panatour Pro? They seem to do the same thing?

Panotour is easier to use if you dont want to programme KRpano. Think it also has some other nice features. I havent used the newest version yet, but it's very quick for adding hotspots and linking panos for example.
