When creating a virtual tour for a client presentation, I’d like the link to open immediately in full-screen mode and with VR (motion-based viewing) enabled, without requiring the user to tap any buttons. Is there a way to achieve this directly through the link, or any workaround that allows for this seamless experience?
Hello - @jos_mendanha !
Where does your client view the virtual tours - on a mobile device or in a Virtual Reality Headset?
On a mobile device, opening it drectly from a link or QR code.
Hi, so I will discuss this internally, however some users have different preferences and may not want the motion controls on automatically.
Maybe we can include a setting in the share window for this to happen automatically. I will keep you posted!
Best Regards,
Hi, thank you!
It would be great to have that as an option, as some clients don’t immediately understand how to make it work and might miss out on the full experience. Having a smoother, more intuitive start would definitely help in presentations.
I have a quick update - Unfortunately the Full screen setting itself has to be manually set by the user - this is a security setting implemented by all web browsers so that popup ads and other bad content cannot automatically go to full screen and occupy all your screen space. As for the motion controls - we will implement a setting or just set it to On automatically if it detects a mobile device!
Hi, @vasil_garbev
Question on your last comment “As for the motion controls - we will implement a setting or just set it to On automatically if it detects a mobile device!” I created a virtual tour, to be viewed mostly on mobile devices, is there a way to default to Motion Control as OFF? The users should navigate the Panoramas using their fingers. Just want to always start that way, and if they want they can switch to orbit by moving their device. Thanks!
@ana_brainard Hello! Unfortunately, we do not yet have a setting for this to keep things simple. Most of our users gave us feedback that they would like the motion controls to be on by default so their users don’t have to enable this manually.
Your users can still navigate the panoramas with fingers, while Motion Controls are on. If it is bothering them, they can always switch Motion Controls off completely from the button in the Virtual tour.
